As an Event Intern (EI), you will learn to support the planning, coordination, and execution of conferences and advocacy events.

This internship offers valuable hands-on experience in event management, providing an opportunity to develop skills in organization, communication, problem-solving, and teamwork within a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

The focus of this internship will be on three events: Educator’s Conference (February – San Francisco), Advocacy Day (March – Sacramento), and Managers and Directors Institute (April – Newport Beach). You will work closely with our whole team, but especially our Events Director and Engagement Coordinator.

Ideally, you will be able to attend all three events (with all expenses paid). This position is primarily remote, with one partial day per week in our Sacramento office, plus in-office event preparation days as needed.
