Internships
Our internship program offers college or graduate students the opportunity to work in a diverse range of policy research, communications, and fundraising roles. Our interns work both independently and with the Society's staff, and often are involved in multiple complex projects simultaneously. Eagerness to learn, good organization skills, and strong interpersonal skills are essential traits in all Smith Society interns.
Please submit an application online using the online form below. We require one letter of a recommendation and a resume, which can also be submitted below. We will only consider complete applications. Due to the high volume of applications, we are unable to interview every candidate. Please consider your application received once submitted, and we will be in touch if you are selected for an interview. All questions should be directed to internships@manhattan-institute.org
