Overview:
The Alliance for Natural Health USA (ANH-USA) is seeking a student or graduate for a communications internship.

We are a non-profit, 501(c)4, political advocacy organization working to protect access to natural health treatment options. ANH-USA protects access to integrative medicine by lobbying Congress and state legislatures; acting as a government watchdog; filing comments on proposed Administrative rulings; educating the public, press, and decision-makers on integrative medicine; initiating legal activities (e.g., lawsuits, amicus briefs, petitions); and joining and forming significant coalitions.

ANH-USA is a great place to gain experience in non-profit branding and communications. Our office, located in Washington, DC, is casual and friendly.

The intern’s job duties may include:

• Update website content;
• Post daily content to Facebook and Twitter;
• Promote and share ANH-USA content in relevant places on the web;

Applicants should have excellent writing, organizational, and communication skills, and a personal interest in natural health policy issues. A working knowledge of online research and MS Office software is required. Preference will be given to applicants with a degree in communications, English, or a related field.
