 What are the benefits of the CID Democracy Internship Program?

CID interns receive hands-on experience working on research projects that have an immediate, tangible impact on the landscape of civic engagement and our democracy. Interns are often able to participate in research projects from start to finish over the course of a single year and build their skill set in a variety of ways. Additionally, students can receive transcript notation and academic credit, where applicable.

 What are an intern’s responsibilities?

While all interns must commit to a minimum of 10 hours per week for one semester, their duties can vary depending on the skill sets they wish to develop. Our interns work on everything from individual research projects to statistical analysis and social media development. It is this versatility that allows us to accept interns from a wide variety of academic backgrounds. This is a paid internship.
