Summer Internships with the Institute for Women's Policy Research

The Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR), located in Washington, D.C., conducts and communicates research to inspire public dialogue, shape policy, and improve the lives and opportunities of women of diverse backgrounds, circumstances, and experiences. Throughout the internship program, our interns will learn about the fundamentals of the non-profit sector, grow in their professional development, and gain insight into policy research on various intersectional issues that impact women’s economic justice. IWPR interns work closely with staff and assist in a number of activities—including providing research, outreach, and administrative support—to help further IWPR’s mission and goals.

During the 2018 summer program, IWPR will offer internships in three areas: Research, Communications and Marketing, and Office Operations. Internships typically last from May to August.

While the internship will be an opportunity for professional development, applicants should consider the following general requirements:

• A passion for women’s issues and economic justice
• Excellent writing and communication skills
• Good computer skills
• Prior office experience is desirable, as interns are responsible for a minimal amount of general office work (e.g. answering phones, photocopying, filing, and maintaining the library)
• A “can do” attitude with a willingness to work on new issue areas you may not be familiar with
