CBPP Summer 2025 Intern Positions The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities is a high-caliber strategic policy institute that informs and shapes public policies to reduce poverty, promote equity, and build opportunity. It has a national reputation for conducting rigorous research and analysis, developing evidence-based policy ideas and strategies, shaping a broad array of policy debates at the federal and state levels, and influencing policy outcomes on a range of critical issues. It focuses on improving the lives of people with low or moderate incomes and examines how policies affect particular groups, including Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, immigrants, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ people. The Center is known for its unique capacity to blend rigorous, timely analysis with effective communications that enable policymakers and the media to make use of its work. CBPP will have 15 internship positions in the summer on the following teams: • Communications • Data Analysis and Research • Equity & Inclusion • Federal Fiscal Policy • Food Assistance • Government Affairs • Health Policy • Housing Policy • Human Resources • Income Security • Outreach • State Fiscal Policy Campaigns & Communications • State Fiscal Policy Development & Strategic Projects • State Fiscal Policy Network Organizational Effectiveness • State Fiscal Policy Research You can learn more about each role on our website: https://www.cbpp.org/internships/summer-2025-intern-positions Successful interns will have a commitment to the Center’s mission to improve the well-being of low- and moderate-income people and advance racial equity.

Company Description: The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is a nonpartisan research and policy institute that advances federal and state policies to help build a nation where everyone — regardless of income, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, ZIP code, immigration status, or disability status — has the resources they need to thrive and share in the nation’s prosperity. CBPP combines rigorous research and analysis, strategic communications, and effective advocacy to shape debates, affect policy, and inform effective implementation both nationally and in states. It works closely with a broad set of national, state, and community organizations to design and advance policies that promote economic justice; improve health; broaden opportunity in areas like housing, health care, employment, and education; and lower structural barriers for people of color and others in communities that continue to face systemic barriers to opportunity. CBPP promotes policies that will build a more equitable nation and fair tax policies that can support these gains over the long term. CBPP also shows the harmful impacts of policies and proposals that would deepen poverty, widen disparities, and worsen health outcomes. |
