Full description from employer
The Illinois Policy Institute believes:
That civil and personal liberties must be protected and preserved.
Illinois should be a place where people of all talents, interests and cultural backgrounds can succeed with hard work and ingenuity.
In effective, efficient, honest and transparent government that is accountable to taxpayers and residents in need, not political special interests.
That the best policies empower people – and limit the power of government.
That a public pension system that threatens to bankrupt our state, drive down economic growth and evaporate retirements for public-sector workers is immoral — but that modest reforms can solve this crisis.
Property taxes must be brought under control so people are not forced out of their homes.
Workers deserve the right to choose whether a labor union serves their values and interests.
Economic policy should focus on creating jobs and opportunities for all.
Voters deserve choices at the ballot box and no politician is entitled to a “safe” seat.
Each child should have access to educational opportunities that prepare them for the future.
If you’re looking for a boring internship full of rote tasks and little learning, this is NOT the opportunity for you.
The Illinois Policy Institute is seeking a full-time intern to be part of a high-performing team on which you’ll learn how to conduct research that makes a difference. You’ll help analyze policies that make it harder for Illinoisans to thrive and to craft free market solutions that will bring more liberty, opportunity, and prosperity to all, especially the least well off.
In-person hybrid schedule optional for local candidates; remote available for the right candidate.
