ATTENTION: The Consortium for Ocean Leadership offers Washington, DC-based internships for students at Ocean Leadership member institutions. Over the years, interns have come from a variety of backgrounds, disciplines and institutions in the academic and government sectors and have made many valuable contributions to the mission and work of Ocean Leadership.
Ocean Leadership policy internships are designed to further professional development for current or recently graduated students and provide assistance to the Ocean Leadership full-time Public Affairs staff. In addition to project work relevant to each intern’s research, area of concentration, or degree, each participant will learn about the entire spectrum of Ocean Leadership activities including involvement in the legislative process, projects with various federal oceanographic agencies and a variety of educational initiatives. Legislative activities include monitoring, analyzing and reporting on relevant bills and legislative hearings, developing information for congressional members and committees, attending hearings on behalf of Ocean Leadership and pursuing other items on Ocean Leadership’s legislative agenda. Applicants should have strong written and communications skills and demonstrate an ability to take personal initiative.
