LGBT Issues Internship

LGBT research and communications interns will serve as fully engaged members of a dedicated team at the Center for American Progress. Our interns will have the opportunity to delve into a variety of policy and research projects, and gain valuable knowledge and understanding of key LGBT issues facing the nation. The main focus of our strategic work includes ending discrimination against gay and transgender workers, achieving relationship recognition rights, increasing LGBT access to healthcare, and advocating for anti-LGBT bullying initiatives across the country.

LGBT research and communications interns engage in research, writing, preparatory work for events, and other needed support. Whenever possible, our interns are encouraged to write on a topic of their choice, either as a contributor to a larger final piece or as an author of a column for our website. We also encourage interns on our team to take full advantage of the many events at CAP, as well as events, briefings, and hearings that take place on the Hill and throughout Washington, D.C.
