Employer: Institute for Humane Studies
Division: N/A
Title: Summer Internship in State or Federal Public Policy


Description: Spend the summer working on public policy that promotes free markets and individual rights during a ten-week paid fellowship. The Charles G. Koch Summer Fellow program, offered by the Institute for Humane Studies, is a great way to get involved with organizations advocating public policy solutions that advance liberty.

The fellowship begins with a one-week policy and career skills seminar to provide the knowledge needed to excel in a policy internship. Fellows will work for eight weeks at a state or federal policy organization and participate in weekly policy lectures. The internship concludes with a closing seminar where fellows present group research projects and participate in policy challenges.

If your eager to bring market solutions to the state level, you can work at a State Policy Network think tank in one of more than 34 states. Learn how to develop effective campaign strategies and mobilize supporters. Publish editorials or letters in state or local papers. Choose from organizations such as the Texas Public Policy Foundation, Goldwater Institute, and Mackinac Center for Public Policy.

If federal policy is your focus, intern at one of more than 40 Washington, DC, organizations protecting individual liberty. Choose from organizations such as Americans for Tax Reform, Drug Policy Alliance, Environmental Literacy Council, and the Cato Institute.

The intensive ten-week program begins in June and includes a $1,500 stipend and a housing allowance.
