About Public Citizen

Public Citizen is at the forefront of fighting corporate power and defending our democracy. We organize, lobby, litigate, conduct research, and communicate with the press and public in a variety of ways.

We offer both paid and unpaid internships for people who are passionate about our issues and who want to learn and contribute in a fun and rewarding environment.

Our interns work with Public Citizen staff including researchers, organizers, program directors, campaign directors, press officers, lobbyists, and fundraisers and more. Summer interns will have the opportunity to participate in luncheons with senior staff, networking events, and other activities.

Internship
Public Citizen internships are available year round. Our summer internships are typically full time (40 hours a week for around eight weeks), although we have some flexibility as to hours and weeks.

Reviews

Policy Intern

June 2019 - August 2019 Washington, DC
“Public Citizen has an incredible reach for an advocacy organization. They really care about their interns, and you’ll be doing real work. ”

Communications Intern

June 2018 - August 2018 Washington, DC
“I was given countless opportunities to innovate and make my intern experience into something unique to my interests and skills. For example, I was able to practice photography by documenting the press conferences and rallies we held throughout D.C. I helped the Communications office choose a DSLR camera, and trained the staff on how to use it.”
