Looking for an internship where you’ll contribute, not just observe?
CJPAC is hiring two Summer 2026 Interns to join our Toronto-based team for a paid, full-time internship focused on real political engagement, meaningful responsibility, and hands-on learning.
This program is designed for students who want firsthand exposure to Canadian politics, practical experience that translates beyond the classroom, and the opportunity to contribute to work that strengthens democratic participation.
Why Apply
Paid, full-time internship (35 hours per week)
Hands-on political experience supporting national programs and outreach
Direct exposure to elected officials, political staff, and community leaders
Mentorship and real responsibility, not observation or busywork
Multi-partisan environment focused on respectful civic engagement
About the Program
CJPAC is a national, independent, multi-partisan organization dedicated to engaging Jewish Canadians and allies in the democratic process.
Summer Interns are fully integrated into the team and contribute to real initiatives across political engagement, communications, and major events. Interns gain behind-the-scenes insight into how political organizations operate while developing skills applicable to careers in public policy, politics, communications, law, and related fields.
What You’ll Gain
By the end of the summer, interns typically leave with:
Experience supporting live political programs and events
A clearer understanding of Canada’s political landscape
Tangible communications and engagement experience
Professional relationships and mentorship within the political and community space
Greater confidence navigating fast-paced, mission-driven work
