Politrip specialises in organising short-term volunteer placements on international political campaigns. It is the ultimate experience for political enthusiasts; providing students, graduates, young professionals and any politically minded individual the chance to immerse themselves in political campaigning across the world. It gives you the chance to be on the frontlines of a political campaign, travel, meet new friends and develop valuable skills and experience.<\/p>\n

Between July 2019 and November 2020, Politrip are hosting three once-in-a-lifetime trips during the 2020 US Presidential campaign. We\u2019ll be following the race all the way from the start of the Democratic Primary in Iowa, to the victory speech of the next US President. We have opportunities available in 11 states including Florida, Virginia, Pennsylvania, California and more! After a successful launch in February 2019, places are now full for our July 2019 trip to Des Moines, Iowa, however, there are still several trips available for politicos looking to experience the excitement of a US Presidential election!<\/p>\n

The application process is still open for the Summer and Autumn 2020 Politrips!<\/strong> If you\u2019re interested in taking part, please visit www.politrip.org<\/a> to apply. It\u2019s important to note that places are limited, so make sure to apply as soon as possible in order to avoid disappointment. Prices for our trips start from \u00a3750 for a 2-week trip, and \u00a31200 for one month, which includes: all accommodation, ground transportation, a weekend away in a major city, pre-departure training & support, organisation of your placement and much more!<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve secured your place with a deposit, you can pay your Politrip fee in instalments from as little as \u00a332 per month. We also have a competitive bursary scheme available for individuals from low-income backgrounds. More details on costs & inclusions are available on our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We can also help you identify any funding opportunities available from your university to help with the cost of your trip.<\/p>\n
