Summer Internship
BPC has a robust summer internship program. Interns work full time and are assigned to a specific BPC project or functional area. Summer interns will receive a $3,500 stipend for ten weeks of work and must be rising juniors or above but are not required to be enrolled in school at the time of application.
Qualified candidates will be highly motivated and energetic self-starters. Interns will assist individual projects and departments in several capacities and should be enthusiastic about working on a variety of tasks. Candidates must be team players and express an interest in at least one of BPC’s various policy projects or functional areas.
Intern responsibilities include, but are not limited to providing administrative support, assisting with events and meetings, conducting research and assisting with the development and writing of reports, white papers, and proposals. While interns work closely with their assigned project teams, there are also opportunities to learn from and be exposed to the wide range of issues addressed by the organization. BPC encourages interns to attend off-site events and to participate in educational opportunities with fellow staff.
