Fall Internship

The Heritage Foundation
Washington, DC Intern
POSTED ON 3/11/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/8/2025

The Heritage Foundation’s mission is to formulate and promote public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.


Each semester, we hire 50 interns who learn about the foundations of American political thought from The Boyce-Haller First Principles Lecture Series, weekly briefings with Heritage policy experts on foreign, economic, and domestic policy issues, and practical skills workshops on topics such as resume and cover letter writing, Capitol Hill, and op-ed writing.


Interns work day-to-day alongside Heritage staff in one of several Heritage departments. Individual department placements include foreign policy, economic, and domestic policy research, law and constitutional studies, communications, journalism, government relations, outreach, event planning, and business operations.


Fall interns may work full-time (40 hours per week) or part-time (a minimum of 20 hours per week) hours during the fall semester. Standard hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.


All interns will be paid an hourly wage of $18 and work on-site at the office in Washington, DC.


The semester begins on September 8th and ends on December 5th.


Applicants will preferably be a college junior or above by credit hours, but students with fewer credit hours are welcome to apply. Recent college graduates, master's students, and law students are encouraged to apply.


Hiring is on a rolling basis and will start before the June 1st application deadline. Apply now for immediate consideration.
