Internship & Heritage Foundation Overview

The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institute--a think tank--whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.*

The Heritage Foundation internship program attracts young conservative leaders of the highest caliber. They train, equip, and develop tomorrow’s young conservative leaders during their time at Heritage. Their paid interns are given substantive work, acquire policy expertise, and build marketable skills.

Interns work with Heritage experts on foreign and domestic policy issues in such areas as energy and the environment, the rule of law, homeland security, and health care. For those interested in business, Heritage offers the opportunity to work in communications and marketing, development, coalition building and outreach, and government relations.*
