非营利性组织APIAVote（亚裔投票促进会），寻求一个youth intern，从现在工作到十一月的大选，主要是和选举相关的一些工作，具体内容见下列职位描述，intern是有stipend的，从现在九月份工作到十一月，一共可得1000美元的津贴。

希望下周三得到回复。不知道你是否认识哪个高中生或大学生可能有兴趣的？需要自己能开车。

APIAVote是越南华人Theresa Tran和台湾华人Stephanie Chang一起创立的组织，她们两人31岁，是UM的同学。两人在大学就开始搞这些促进亚裔投票的活动，在LANSING非常有人脉，并且她们这个组织得到了州政府的GRANT。

Stephanie今年参加州议员的选举，初选得票数第一，远超第二名，大选悬念不大，应该会成为密西根有史以来的首位华裔州议员了。Theresa是registered republican，她现在是APIAVote的executive director (Stephanie是第一任)。

This intern will be working in the suburbs (Canton, Northville, Novi, Plymouth, Farmington, Farmington Hills).
