The Civitas Institute is proud to offer one of the most rewarding and competitive internship programs in North Carolina. Students concentrate on public policy in Raleigh while learning in a professional environment. In addition, interns learn the fundamentals of state government while working hand-in-hand with state leaders, think-tankers, and policy experts — discovering along the way how the lawmaking process works. In particular, interns will also have the unique opportunity to work with our policy department drafting and publishing their own public policy reports. Interested, well-qualified candidates may contact the Institute for further information. The Civitas Institute offers competitive compensation for work performed.

We will be accepting applications for Summer 2012 beginning March 5, 2012 through April 20, 2012.
As an intern for the Civitas Institute, I was thrown right in the middle of North Carolina politics. I was inundated in state policy, became well acquainted with legislators, and published numerous articles on a wide range of issues. I rapidly developed expertise in understanding particular areas of public policy, had a large degree of discretion in determining which areas to specialize in, and was allowed many valuable press opportunities to discuss my work with the media including radio stations like WPTF and WUNC. Upon finishing my internship, I became fully employed as a Policy Analyst for Civitas and continue to advance my proficiency in North Carolina politics.

My experience as an intern at the Civitas Institute was one of the most meaningful and valuble parts of my education. As an intern I had the chance to experience state politics from the inside and gain expertise in specific policy areas. Civitas events were wonderful networking opportunities where I got to meet legislators, activists, and political professionals. The Civitas staff really cares about helping interns be successful not only for a semester but afterwards as well. My supervisors are always willing to offer help and advice and let me take the lead on projects so that I could gain marketable skills.
