Project Background
BPC’s Governing and Civics Project is seeking an intern for the 2024 Spring semester to assist with the project’s policy work. The conventional wisdom that Congress is irrevocably acrimonious and partisan is incorrect. Cross-party relationships of trust are essential for bipartisan collaboration on legislation and policy solutions. We enable members of Congress from opposite parties to visit each other’s districts and build the relationships that are essential for bipartisanship. The ACE program facilitates collaborative, bipartisan problem-solving in our highly partisan and polarized political environment.

Responsibilities

The intern will work with project staff on writing and research, event planning, tracking news, and congressional activity, blogging, and communications activities. Specific responsibilities will be determined based on the successful candidate’s interests and the needs of the projects.

Applicants are encouraged to review the five project areas within the Democracy Program prior to applying and interviewing for the position so they can determine which area they would be most interested in exploring.

Qualifications

Must be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate school
Strong research and writing skills
Ability to communicate clearly and effectively
An interest in government and institutional reform
Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks

SPRING PROGRAM

During the fall and spring semesters, internships are part-time and paid. Interns will receive a stipend of at $3000. Applicants must currently be enrolled in an undergraduate, graduate program or a recent graduate. Fall and spring internship hours are flexible, allowing students to gain valuable experience while maintaining their regular class schedules. Interns will provide functional support, conduct research, and work directly with project analysts and staff in various capacities.

*Please note that our Spring internship will be virtual with the option of hybrid work*
