Legislative Assistant (Volunteer)

Overview The Alliance for American Leadership (A4AL) is a nonpartisan coalition of foreign policy experts and young professionals dedicated to revitalizing American leadership through strategic investments in development. We are currently seeking volunteers to help advance A4AL’s legislative strategy. Volunteers will support congressional engagement by monitoring policy developments, drafting briefing materials, and assisting in legislative outreach and preparation. This is a volunteer, fully remote position, with optional in-person opportunities in Washington, DC. We believe that effective foreign aid strengthens national security, prevents pandemics from reaching our shores, and boosts the U.S. economy. The Alliance is organized to make leadership happen through a cross-partisan coalition focused on the idea that when the U.S. leads with intention and action, the world is safer — and so are we. Responsibilities Track specific pieces of legislation and flag key developments related to foreign aid, global development, and U.S. national security. Draft one-page policy memos or legislative summaries tailored for congressional audiences. Assist in preparing materials for meetings with Members of Congress and their staff. Watch committee hearings from the House and Senate, take notes, and produce short briefings. Maintain internal tracking logs of meetings, contacts, and follow-up actions. Qualifications Comfortable reading and analyzing bills and policy proposals. Strong research, writing, and synthesis skills, especially under tight deadlines. Familiarity with tools like Congress.gov, C-SPAN, or similar platforms is helpful. This opportunity is volunteer-based and fully remote, with optional in-person opportunities in Washington, DC. #J-18808-Ljbffr Alliance for American Leadership
