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.
