American Geoscience Institute Geoscience Policy Internship
Be a Geoscience Policy Intern with the American Geosciences Institute! The Geoscience Policy Program represents the geoscience community in Washington DC, and actively works with Congress and federal agencies to foster sound public policy in areas that affect geoscientists, including water, energy, and mineral resources; geologic hazards, environmental protection, and federal funding for geoscience research and education.

Interns will hone their writing and web publishing skills while gaining first-hand understanding of the legislative process and executive branch agencies.
