The James Madison Institute

The James Madison Institute internship program operates year-round and is generally organized by college semesters. College students are given the opportunity to gain valuable experience in several fields focused on advancing public policy ideas. Interns are assigned to JMI staff members to gain hands-on experience while improving their research, analytical, and writing skills.

Students of all majors are encouraged to apply; however, preference is given to students with backgrounds in economics, public policy, political science, communications, development, or any related fields. JMI internships are unpaid, but prospective interns are encouraged to contact their college or university to see if the internship qualifies for academic credit. Housing is not provided by JMI.
