Duration and Compensation: This is a paid internship position with a duration of 6 months.  While Sound Off will always remain a lean organization, we are growing and hope to hire an administrative position at the end of this internship.  The internship will require 40 hours per week with a stipend of $2000 per month.  Work will be mostly remote with occasional in person meetings and tasks taking place in D.C.
This is a great opportunity for someone interested in the combination of technology and social impact.  While job duties won’t be directly related to engineering in application work, this intern will be regularly exposed to and involved in strategic decisions leveraging technology.
