Lake County Organizing Internship

Time Period: Six months, starting September 1, 2026 - Feb 28, 2027 (possibility of extension) 

Time commitment: 10 hrs per week

Compensation: $1000 monthly stipend and mileage reimbursement

Interfaith Action Network (IAN) is the Lake County chapter of We Make Indiana. We are a multi-faith and multi-racial network of congregations that supports people of faith to have an effective voice in public life. We partner with public officials to pursue concrete solutions so that everyone in our community can flourish, no matter our race, zip code or faith background.

This internship will help you learn core skills of community organizing as you help build this growing network. The primary focus of this six month internship will be one-on-one meetings with clergy and leaders in Lake County to build relationships, learn what people care about, and explore an interest in working for change together. During your internship, you will also work with leaders to hold several community listening sessions and will support community events and meetings. The internship includes training and regular coaching. 

This internship can provide valuable experience in applying for a full-time Fellows program and possible future employment.
