Center for American Progress Internship Program

The Center for American Progress is a think tank dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through ideas and action. American Progress offers full and part-time internships each summer and academic semester. Successful applicants will be bright, highly motivated scholars with strong academic records and an interest and aptitude for public policy and/or political communication. Interns will be directly engaged with the Center’s policy experts and will participate in a variety of activities including research, writing, and web-based projects. They will also assist staff with administrative tasks and help organize the Center’s many conferences and events.

American Progress offers a monetary stipend as well as a transportation subsidy for interns. Intern applicants can apply for placement in various departments (see website for list).
