PAID Fall 2019 Internship
BPC offers full-time summer, and part-time fall and spring internships each academic semester. 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 one of the BPC’s various policy projects or functional areas.
During the summer semester, all projects/departments accept interns. However, during the fall and spring semesters, only some teams accept interns. Please see below for the list of teams accepting interns for the upcoming semester as well as for a comprehensive list of our projects/departments.
Fall interns are assigned to a specific BPC project or functional area and will receive a $1,500 stipend for work throughout the semester. Interns must be rising juniors or above. Non-U.S. citizens are eligible to apply but must have a valid work permit or visa verifying eligibility to work in the United States. We do not offer visa sponsorship.
Interns will provide administrative support, assist with events and meetings, conduct research and assist with the development and writing of reports, white papers and proposals. While interns work closely with their project teams, there are also opportunities to learn from and be exposed to the wide range of issues addressed by the organization.
BPC semester programs are flexible, allowing students to gain valuable experience while maintaining their regular class schedules.
