     The Men’s Health Network (MHN) in Washington DC is a non-profit educational organization comprised of physicians, researchers, public health workers, and other interested individuals.

MHN is committed to improving the health and wellness of men through education campaigns, advocacy, research, and work with health care providers to realize better programs and higher funding for men’s health needs.

With national headquarters located on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, MHN works to educate policy makers, the media, and the public on the health crisis facing today's men. This includes information on male-specific ailments, as well as the ways in which male health problems affect the workplace, the economy, and the family.

MHN offers a hands-on public policy experience. Interns are heavily involved in the design of their own learning plans, ensuring that they fit closely with their skills and interests. Prospective interns may approach MHN with a new project in mind, but generally, interns choose to focus on one or two of the following core MHN areas:

Legislative Advocacy:
• Preparing and presenting educational briefings for Congressional staff.
• Attending and reporting on relevant Congressional hearings and local seminars.

Health Outreach:
• Developing original health information brochures and literature.
• Representing MHN at health fairs and public policy events.

Public Health Research:
• Conducting original research on racial and gender health disparities.
• Conducting original research on the health effects of family disintegration and social disadvantage.

Public Relations:
• Designing and implementing campaigns to raise awareness of men’s health issues.
• Informing media outlets of the pressing importance of men’s health.

MHN is seeking enthusiastic, independent interns to be directly involved with our mission of promoting health needs and the overall well being of men and their families. Applicants should have strong written and oral communication skills, basic computer literacy, and be self-motivated and goal-oriented. Knowledge of public policy, advocacy, and public health issues would be beneficial, but training is provided for those who need it. Starting and ending dates and working hours are negotiable and flexible, but in return, a degree of flexibility is expected when special events are taking place.

Applications, including a resume and cover letter, or further questions, should be directed to:

     You, as a Mainebiz intern, are no coffee-carrying lackey. Instead, you quickly become a part of our six-person staff, participating in editorial meetings, writing briefs, columns and -- if you're good -- feature stories, proofreading and occasionally throwing a ball for Zoey, our office dog. We can't offer you cash, but we can guarantee you'll leave with a handful of clips and a head full of journalism know-how.

Want proof? Here's what Caitlin Elsaesser, a 2004 graduate of Carleton College, wrote about her internship during the summer of 2003: "Mainebiz gave me the perfect window into the world of journalism. During the entire duration of my summer internship, I felt like I was a part of the staff: I was included in all decision making meetings and often asked for input. The staff at Mainebiz worked to accommodate my personal goals for the summer."

What we want from you (there had to be a catch, right?) is a commitment of 15-20 hours a week for 10 weeks. If your college or university offers a one-month program, we can talk about that, too. Journalism majors are great, but we're also happy to talk with other juniors and seniors with solid, demonstrable writing experience.

Interested? Check out www.mainebiz.biz, then email Editor Carol Coultas at ccoultas@mainebiz.biz. We'll look at your writing samples, set up an interview and see where it goes.

Mainebiz also offers internships in the production and design department and the sales and marketing department.

For more information about a production internship, contact Art Director Jan Holder at jholder@mainebiz.biz.

   Project Vote Smart, a political research organization started by former United States Presidents, Senators, and Congresspersons from both major political parties, is inviting 4 students from Saint Joseph's College to work and study at its unique Great Divide Research Center.

With all living expenses funded by the Hearst Foundation, this unique opportunity will place students at a high-tech research facility at the Project's exclusive Great Divide Ranch.  This extraordinary, private research center is located high in the Montana Rocky Mountains and is considered the most accurate, dependable source of political information on elected officials and candidates by news organizations nationwide.

The Program

The PVS National Internship is a unique opportunity to become involved in American politics. Students from across the nation, as well as international students seeking to learn more about the American political system, come to Philipsburg, Montana to help American citizens educate themselves about elected officials and candidates. By providing this information in an easy, accessible manner, Project Vote Smart believes that citizens can better defend themselves from the political hype and misrepresentation characteristic of present day political campaigns.

Interns play a crucial role at Project Vote Smart. In fact, interns and volunteers make up the vast majority of our staff. The individual talents, ideas and hard work of our interns have been instrumental in the success of many of our most important programs.

The work that is done in the office is not glamorous. Since we cover thousands of elected officials and candidates at various levels of depth, often times it is tedious and monotonous. However, if you are interested in making a genuine contribution to the improving of democracy while working in a positive, idealistic, grassroots environment we would love to have you join our team. The rewards for your efforts will be great. As internships go, there is plenty of room to learn and grow with the organization. A genuine effort is made to accommodate your professional and educational goals. In fact, interns and volunteers often return as staff members before moving on in their professional careers.

The Location

The Great Divide Ranch Retreat and Research Facility is located 30 minutes south of Philipsburg, Montana inside the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness. (two hours south of Missoula and 1 ½ hours west of Butte). We are three miles from the Continental Divide at 6,000 feet. One of the world's most famous fly-fishing rivers, Rock Creek, runs along one side of the property and Moose Lake borders the other. There are a myriad of outdoor activities available to students year-round. Whether it's hiking, fishing or riding our four horses in the summer or skiing, ice fishing or snowmobile in the winter, there is always something fun to do. There are also tennis, basketball and horseshoe facilities. The housing facilities consist of lodges divided into rooms that sleep between two and six. Students should expect to have at least two roommates. We have a full-time lodge manager living on the property who prepares all meals. As part of living in a group, students are required to help with weekly cleaning and maintenance chores assigned by the lodge manager.
