BUILD THE FUTURE OF PHOENIX

The Megan Schmitz for Phoenix City Council District 4 Campaign is seeking engaged, motivated, and eager young leaders to help power our grassroots movement.

This fellowship is designed for students, recent graduates, and young professionals who want to make a real impact in their community while gaining hands-on experience in politics, public service, organizing, communications, and civic engagement.

Our campaign is built on a simple belief: change happens when people show up. From knocking doors and organizing events to creating digital content and building community partnerships, fellows will be at the center of the campaign’s efforts to connect with voters and build a winning coalition.
