Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) offers a wide variety of opportunities to college students across the country. Unpaid research, communications, and government affairs internships are available on a year-round basis and can vary in length from a semester to a few weeks in duration. Interns can choose to work part-time or full-time, as hours of work are extremely flexible. Our daily work with Capitol Hill and the White House, as well as government agencies and other nonprofit organizations, provides a close and invaluable look at how Washington works. Since CAGW maintains a small staff, interns gain hands-on experience in all aspects of CAGW’s activities. Many projects involve working closely with staff members, while others require a great deal of independence. Interns are considered important members of our staff and actively participate in staff meetings and other events. While interns will also be required to perform clerical duties from time to time, much of the work will be substantive.
Research Internship
Assist in formulating policy papers and collect data for original investigative studies. Research and write for CAGW’s annual publications, which include the Congressional Pig Book, Prime Cuts, Government WasteWatch eNews, and special projects, including issue briefs, and policy papers. Interns will have the opportunity to initiate projects. Research internships are also available in specific areas, including healthcare and science, technology and telecommunications, federal regulations and taxation.
