We’re a team committed to paving the way forward for a better world.
The Center for Progressive Reform doesn’t just advocate for good policy. We research the issues and connect with groups on the ground to use the power of law and advocacy to inform policies that get to the root of today’s most pressing problems. Join our solutions-focused team of policy specialists, academics, legal professionals, and communications experts. We encourage professionals from all backgrounds to apply.
There are no openings at this time, but please check back soon!
We accept internship applications on a rolling basis for Fall, Spring, and Summer. Start and end dates of these seasons are subject to a candidate’s availability but are generally: September-December, January-April, May-August.
Policy Interns: Policy interns support the Center’s programmatic work in Climate Justice, Public Protections, or Responsive Government to strengthen regulatory safeguards and advance progressive policies for public health and safety, clean energy, and environmental justice. Policy internship duties include, but are not limited to, policy, legal, and/or public health research and writing; webinar and other event planning; and blogging. Applicants must have completed or be in the process of completing an advanced degree in law, public policy, public health, or a related field.

Communications internship duties include, but are not limited to, tracking current events relevant to our work; developing digital assets including posts, graphics, and videos; and writing content for our blog and website. Applicants must have completed or are in the process of completing an undergraduate or advanced degree in communications, public relations, or a related field.
