About onAir Networks

onAir Networks are human-curated, AI-assisted online networks of topical Hubs similar to real world town halls and think tanks.

We bring together professionals, administrators, students and the public to:
LEARN more about a field and advance its knowledge
DISCUSS key challenges
ENGAGE with others to co-create solutions

Together, we can build knowledge-based, trusted, collaborative online communities to create a “People’s Internet”

Where onAir hub members own their content & share their profiles and projects with related hubs without being tracked, algorithmic feeds, or intrusive ads;
Where public posts are curated and shared by members without paywalls integrating AI summaries with their own knowledge; spotlighting the latest news, videos, and projects; moderating discussions, and hosting livestreamed interviews and events;
Where every person can participate and thrive

Join us & help us reclaim the web. Your voice matters onAir!

OnAir Internships

Over the past four years, Democracy onAir has been working with over 50 interns majoring in government, global affairs, communications, and the information sciences to develop the US Democracy onAir network of 50 state governance and elections hubs. The US Democracy Network serves as a model network for other countries. Former interns are now working on creating networks for other countries such as the India Democracy Network.

Student interns will be supported by our Democracy onAir team if they choose to integrate their internship with courses for credit, class projects, capstone projects, and research work. Most work is done online and unpaid. Some of our recent interns have continued working with Democracy onAir in management positions.

The internship is intended to be a learning experience as much as it is a work experience. Inter will deepen their knowledge of democratic processes especially as it relates to their country’s federal and state governance. Interns will also gain a better understanding of contemporary politics and issues, whether they are local, regional, or national.

Contact internships@onair.cc to submit your resume and cover letter about what intern position you are interested in and why.
