We’ve also opened up applications for an internship in policy, as well as an internship in programs and communications! The Spring internships will begin February 2023 and end May 2023. Interns will work with ASAN staff to figure out what professional skills they would like to work on, and how we can best support them.

The Programs & Communications intern will work closely with the Operations team to help with events, resources, and communications tasks. They’ll have a chance to learn to manage a social media presence across multiple platforms, translate documents into Plain Language and Easy Read, prepare programs and webinars, and more!

The Policy intern will be expected to help track policy issues, conduct research, and prepare presentations as well as attending some internal and external meetings. This position requires basic research and writing skills . Many people learn these skills in college or university education, but people can also learn these skills through experience, such as jobs or volunteer work. Either is acceptable for this internship. If you are an undergraduate student, we are asking that you be in your third year or later when the internship starts. Candidates should have a strong interest in public policy , but previous policy experience is not needed
