The Consortium for Ocean Leadership offers Washington, DC-based internships for students at Ocean Leadership member institutions. Over the years, interns have come from a variety of backgrounds, disciplines and institutions in the academic and government sectors and have made many valuable contributions to the mission and work of Ocean Leadership. The policy internship is designed to further professional development for current or recently graduated students by working with Ocean Leadership’s Public Affairs staff. Each intern will learn about the federal legislative process and become more familiar with current ocean policy related issues. The intern is responsible for monitoring, analyzing and reporting on relevant bills and legislative hearings, contributing to the advocacy section
