Company Background: Founded in 2019, TurnUp is a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible non-profit organization which comprises the largest youth-led voter registration and turnout initiative in America. Our goal is to close the gap between young people who want to take civic action and those who actually do so. TurnUp’s efforts include four integrated programs to increase youth voter registration and turnout: physical registration & turnout drives, relational registration & turnout drives, grassroots internship program, and digital campaigns. Since 2019, TurnUp has helped to register 250,000+ young voters; text 20 million young voters; talk to 700,000 young voters on the phone; achieve 80 million impressions of our ads making it easy to register or vote; and empower 30,000+ young interns and volunteers to spend 39,000 hours getting out the vote. Forbes recently recognized TurnUp as the #1 standout tech non-profit.

Internship Program Background: Since 2020, TurnUp has run a virtual internship program which has trained and educated over 7,000 students. College and high school students join the program to learn about civic engagement and then take action on issues of importance, particularly through phone-banking and text-banking to register young voters. Most interns commit 5 hours for 3 months and there are usually between 500 and 1,000 interns in the program at any given time. Interns are grouped into teams and each team has two team leaders who are also interns. Interns must spend 1.5 hours each week on their educational task, 1 hour in their weekly team meeting (same time each week), and 2.5 hours conducting grassroots activism, mostly in partnership with other organizations.

Further details about the internship program are available here and in our handbook here.
