Join our team as a fall intern

OK Policy staff

OK Policy is now accepting student applicants for paid part-time internships during the fall of 2017! Interns will be expected to work between 10 and 20 hours per week, depending on their schedules and availability. The position will be based in our Tulsa office.

Interns have the opportunity to work as full members of the OK Policy team and participate in most activities of the organization. Depending on organization needs and interests, interns will generally focus on either research or advocacy. Interns develop policy expertise and may write blog posts on state policy issues such as poverty, health care, criminal justice, and other subjects.

Eligible students should have completed at least four semesters of college coursework or be pursuing a graduate degree. We are happy to cooperate with an institution’s requirements for academic credit.

To apply, please send a cover letter explaining your interest and qualifications, a resume or CV, and a writing sample to jobs@okpolicy.org by Monday, August 14. Please include “Fall internship” in the subject line. Applicants will be contacted regarding interviews in late August.
