Summer 2012 Undergraduate Internship with the Asset Building Program

The Asset Building Program is seeking an undergraduate intern for the summer of 2012. We will begin reviewing applications in a couple of weeks so please encourage any college students you know to consider applying or pass the information along to classmates or peers. While the internship is unpaid, New America provides a transportation stipend and the internship schedule is flexible. Additionally, the intern will be able to attend events, gain research and writing experience, and utilize institutional resources. Ultimately, this is an opportunity to get a sound introduction to the domestic public policy scene. The internship posting can be viewed here and is also pasted below.

The Asset Building Program at New America is seeking an undergraduate intern for the summer of 2012. The Asset Building Program incubates promising policy proposals and serves as a leading voice on innovative public policies to enable low- and middle-income families in the U.S. to accumulate savings, access wealth-building financial services, develop financial capability, and build and protect assets across the life course. The internship would span 10-12 weeks during the summer (dates are flexible). The internship is unpaid, but provides transportation benefits, opportunities to attend internal and external events, and to be immersed in the daily work of the program.
