What: PolicyLink operates a 10-week, paid summer internship program for continuing graduate students (master's or doctoral) in public policy, urban planning, and related fields. We are looking for graduate students who are interested in applying their graduate school training to influence public policy and learn how PolicyLink advances racial and economic equity through policy change.
