The Show-Me Institute is pleased to offer internship opportunities for Summer 2025.
- Internships are open to current undergraduate and graduate students, as well as recent graduates.
- Internships last approximately 15 weeks. The exact starting and ending dates are flexible, but we anticipate that each internship will run from approximately June 5 to August 11.
- Summer interns will work a full-time schedule (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).
- Interns will be involved in many aspects of the Institute’s operations. Interns will work closely with senior staff on a wide variety of projects. They can expect greater responsibility and personal attention than they would receive at larger organizations.
- Interns will assist staff members with a variety of tasks. These may include researching public policy topics, organizing events, and writing and editing op-eds, newsletters, studies, and other documents. Some administrative and clerical tasks also will be required.
- Policy internships as well as communications and development internships are available.
- An internship is an excellent opportunity to improve your research and writing skills. Each intern will produce regular blog posts and an op-ed on a public policy topic of interest to him or her. Each intern will receive feedback and assistance from staff members throughout the process.
- Internships are based in either our St. Louis or Kansas City office.
- Interns will be paid on an hourly basis.
Those wishing to be considered for an internship should submit an application and the requested supporting materials. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. The application deadline is Friday, April 4. However, we will begin conducting interviews as applications are received.
