Mass-Care is seeking an Organizing Intern for the Spring 2023 semester.

We are a statewide advocacy organization with over 200 coalition partners located all across Massachusetts. Our mission is to establish a single payer health care system in Massachusetts so that all residents of the Commonwealth will have access to comprehensive, quality, affordable and equitable health care because it is basic to life and human dignity.

• Attend meetings as requested, including weekly staff calls

Schedule: Working hours are flexible between 10AM-5PM, but time commitment should be at least 12 hours per week. Work can be done remotely or in our office in Mission Hill. Interns must be students based in Massachusetts. The internship is unpaid, but may be used for course credit where applicable.

• Undergraduate or graduate student in public policy, social work, human services or a related field;
