General Internship Information

FRAC offers a variety of internship possibilities throughout the year. The number of internships available at any given time fluctuates. FRAC interns work as volunteers or with the support of third party funding sources, such as work study programs. We will be happy to assist you in getting academic credit for your internship.

Interns work directly with policy and development staff and are assigned to specific projects. Our staff considers mentoring an important part of any internship program.

Intern tasks have included working with FRAC's state and local grassroots network, engaging in research and information analysis, working with Congressional policymakers, attending Congressional hearings, assisting in the production and release of FRAC's special reports, and assisting with the organization's fundraising and development activities.

Students with a strong commitment to public interest and anti-poverty issues are encouraged to apply. Other requirements include solid research, writing and communications skills, computer literacy and interest in/knowledge of the political process.
