Convention of States Intern
Your Impact
The people of the United States face an ever-expanding government exceeding the original bounds of the Constitution. Our nation is crumbling under widespread tyranny, burdensome regulations, and a swelling national debt. At Convention of States, we say we are the solution as big as all of these problems. Article V of the US Constitution empowers "We The People" to reclaim our self-governance by calling a convention of the states to propose constitutional amendments that would limit the size, scope, and jurisdiction of the federal government. The Convention of States Project is well underway, but we need students who aspire to be statesmen and leaders in this struggle for self-governance. If you are a student or a recent graduate, step up, and join the Emerging Leaders Program where you can be a part of the largest Article V grassroots movement as an intern for our organization! This is not some coffee-fetching pencil-pushing internship. You will be making a difference in our nation's history. Our mission is that 30 years from now, you will look back when you are influential leaders in our nation and say that this internship was the defining factor in that path to success because we invested in you, developed your character, and cultivated you as self-governing citizens duty-bound to serve others
