Explore Careers in Public Policy and Advocacy

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities is a high-caliber strategic policy institute that informs and shapes public policies to reduce poverty, promote equity, and build opportunity. It has a national reputation for conducting rigorous research and analysis, developing evidence-based policy ideas and strategies, shaping a broad array of policy debates at the federal and state levels, and influencing policy outcomes on a range of critical issues. It focuses on improving the lives of people with low or moderate incomes and examines how policies affect particular groups, including Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, immigrants, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ people. The Center is known for its unique capacity to blend rigorous, timely analysis with effective communications that enable policymakers and the media to make use of its work.

 

The Center seeks highly motivated undergraduate and graduate students (including law), as well as recent graduates, in the following areas for paid internships.

  • Communications
  • Data Analysis
  • Family Income Support Policy
  • Federal Fiscal Policy
  • Food Assistance (SNAP) Policy
  • Fundraising and Development

The Center’s robust internship offers an opportunity to do substantive work alongside policy experts, participate in various learning and networking events, structured mentorship, and professional development. The positions are designed to reflect an intern's interests in conjunction with the Center's needs and the legislative climate. The Center is seeking applicants with research, fact-gathering, writing, analytic, data analysis, advocacy, campaigns, community outreach, communications, social media, project coordination, and computer skills.

 

Successful interns will have a commitment to the Center’s mission to improve the well-being of low- and moderate-income people and advance racial equity as part of the Center’s work.

 

Bringing diverse perspectives to state and federal policy debates

To expand the diversity of voices that speak with authority in federal and state policy debates, the Center’s internship program identifies highly motivated candidates — with particular attention to candidates having experience with communities that are underrepresented in policy debates — with a demonstrated interest in working on public policies that affect low-income and diverse communities and have implications for racial equity.

 

International students are welcome to apply. The Center does not provide financial sponsorship for visas or work permits. You must have documentation of work authorization for the U.S. AND a U.S. Social Security number to be employed by the Center. (Please indicate that you are an international student on the application form.)
