Convention internships are unpaid positions requiring interns to live in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area from June 2 through Sept. 4. Intern assignments include delegate services, preparing to welcome and house 45,000 people to Minneapolis-Saint Paul; and convention communications and operations, assisting in presenting the vision of Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain to the American people through a press corps of 15,000 journalists – second only to the Olympic Games. Interns will also participate in professional development activities, and participate in community service projects through the convention's American Neighbor Volunteer Program.
