Since its inception in 1979, the Heritage Internship Program has grown to become one of the top political internship programs in the nation. Today we offer competitive internships during the fall and spring semesters (approx. 25 students each semester) and a nine to ten-week summer program (approx. 50 students). These programs are designed to introduce bright and innovative college students to the policy-making process, involve them in important questions and

issues of the day, and encourage them to become active and effective participants in public affairs. Our alumni can be found working in influential policy-making, legal, media and academic positions. No wonder the theme of our program is "Learn Today, Lead Tomorrow."

The Heritage Internship Program is a unique learning experience. Our interns work directly with our research analysts and
policy-makers in each of our departments, ranging from domestic and foreign policy to government relations and our Center for Data Analysis. Depending on the Heritage department in which they work, most interns conduct extensive research and some writing (a few departments are more administrative). In addition, our interns attend weekly seminars with top Heritage Fellows and other outside policy thinkers, participate in reading groups, and attend Heritage lectures, seminars, and debates. We also arrange tours to places like the United States Capitol, the Library of Congress, and the
Pentagon, and we make sure that our interns are included in non-Heritage events and activities.

A non-partisan tax-exempt institution, The Heritage Foundation is one of the largest and most influential research and educational foundations in the United States, providing national, state, and local decision-makers with information that is concise, timely, and relevant to the current policy debate. It was founded in 1973 "to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense."
