We’re always a little suspicious of the jobs page of the otherwise laudable ONE Campaign – it just seems like some of those jobs have been up there a long time – so we’ll just reference the last few posted (if the url-suffix number is a good freshness guideline):
Council of State Community Development AgenciesPolicy Communications Intern

You could work one (or intern) just one building away from the workplace home of DCPA+CJ in surprisingly pleasant Crystal City (really, we kind of love it here*) at the US Committee for Refugees & Immigrants:
Unknown writing, editing and editorial consulting firm looking for Reporter/Intern to produce four short news stories per month for a pay grade we would describe as beer money.

We used the keyword communications, along with the posted in the last 7 days filter to come up with these opportunities with VeriSign – you can also use job # shown:
You're a top performing professional and relentless in your pursuits. You look for opportunities and express your ideas. You stay one step ahead of others in your field – and maybe you might like life in Norfolk, Va. as Communications Specialist with Portfolio Recovery Associates. More winner, achiever and urgent prose here.

Here’s an internal communications focused Senior Manager, Communications spot on the Capitol One roster. Part of your portfolio appears to involve collaborating with the compensation team – who would seem to be pretty good people to make friends with there.
