The  Millennial Action Project (MAP)  is hiring for a new  Congressional Caucus Director  and a contract full- or part-time fellow/intern to help them prepare for the 116th Congress. This would entail doing some candidate tracking, outreach to member offices/meeting facilitation, and program development for on-boarding freshmen members into the Future Caucus. MAP said that they would love to interview a UMD student or recent grad who might be a good candidate for either type of position. The Congressional Caucus Director is a full time position, best advertised to GVPT graduates. The other position is a part-time (or potentially full time) contract position, or paid internship, that would be a good opportunity for current students. Both positions would be based in DC.
