Heritage Foundation Leadership for America

REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE

The interns day-to-day activities would include both research and administrative assignments under the direction of the department head. Interns are also encouraged to attend any lectures offered at Heritage or at other think tanks in the DC area.

Past interns have taken advantage of all our nations' capitol offers them. Many have attended a taping of the McLaughlin Group, private tours of the White House, the Pentagon, and the Supreme Court, and, of course, played on Heritage's softball team, The Capitalist Tools.
