Internship opportunities are available with the Monmouth County Democrats. This opportunity is unique because interns will be working at the county political party, the hub of all politics throughout Monmouth County and the gatekeeper for those outside of the county.
Interns will not be stuck simply making yard signs or phone calls. Their efforts will have a significant impact on the success of the party, and subsequently each particular campaign it focuses on. Being at the hub, interns will be dealing with different individuals from different walks of life every day, thus building a much more expansive network than any regular state legislative or congressional campaign.
This is a great opportunity for students interested in pre-law programs or majors in communications, political science, public relations, graphic design, history, or related fields
Positions are part-time and unpaid, with flexible hours depending on each intern's schedule. Please send all resumes and applications to Executive Director Gordon Estes at info@monmouthdems.org.

Fostering the next generation of leaders is hard work, but it’s a commitment that will always be rewarded. Preparing students in New Jersey for the college education that is right for them can be an exhausting process, but an educated population can have a big, positive impact on the local economy: Within three years of graduation, 1 out of 4 MBA graduates will start their own business.
Unfortunately, local options may not be viable for students, and it’s why we at Bestcolleges.com created guides to detail distance learning options and processes for every level of student:
A Guide to Online Associate Degrees - https://www.bestcolleges.com/features/online-associate- degree/
A Guide to Online Bachelor's Degrees - https://www.bestcolleges.com/features/online-bachelors- degree/
A Guide to Online Master's Degrees - https://www.bestcolleges.com/features/online-masters- degree/
A Guide to Online Doctorate Degrees - https://www.bestcolleges.com/features/online-doctorate- degree/
These guides become more important in light of the following BestColleges.com survey results:
- The age of online students is decreasing: 44% of all online students fall into the "traditional" college age range
- A majority of these young online college students are concurrently enrolled in high school or enroll directly out of high school
- Recent high school graduates are joining the workforce while also pursuing a college education online
- 73% of online students report career goals as a reason for pursuing an online degree
