OK Policy Institute

OK Policy is now accepting applications for paid, part-time or full-time internships in our Tulsa office during the Summer 2019 semester! We are a non-partisan think tank working to promote adequate, fair, and fiscally responsible funding of public services and expanded opportunity for all Oklahomans by providing timely and credible information, analysis, and ideas. If you’re looking to be part of a team that’s fighting to make Oklahoma better for all Oklahomans, this might be the place for you. The deadline to apply is Sunday, April 21st.

This summer we have internship opportunities in two areas. If you wish to apply for both, please submit a separate application for each:

· Public Policy Internship (Tulsa office) - Policy interns may be asked to write blog posts on state policy issues, help with data collection and formatting, assist with our advocacy efforts, help to coordinate events, and help with office administration.

· Open Justice Oklahoma Data Internship (Tulsa office) - OJO interns are expected to assist in the collection, cleaning, and analysis of criminal justice data, conduct research and write blog posts on criminal justice-related issues, and help with office and program administration.

Interns in our office are paid $11 per hour, and we are happy to cooperate with your institution’s requirements for academic credit.

Internships are open to both current undergraduate and graduate students (must have completed a minimum of 24 hours of college credit) and to recent grads (Spring 2018 or later). Participants are chosen by a competitive application process aimed at selecting students with strong academics, robust community involvement, and a clear interest in the study and practice of public policy.

To apply for an internship with us, fill out the online application no later than Sunday, April 21st. All applicants will be contacted regarding interviews no later than April 29th.
