Who we are: CAP is dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through progressive ideas and action. Building on the achievements of progressive pioneers such as Teddy Roosevelt and Martin Luther King Jr., our work addresses 21st century challenges such as energy, national security, economic growth and opportunity, immigration, education, and health care. We develop new policy ideas, critique the policy that stems from conservative values, and challenge the media to cover the issues that truly matter and shape the national debate.
Internship program: One very important goal of American Progress is to inspire and educate the next generation of progressive Americans. CAP offers full- and part-time internships each summer and academic semester. All undergraduate and master’s-level students and J.D. and Ph.D. candidates are eligible to apply. Successful applicants will be bright, highly motivated scholars with strong academic records and an interest and aptitude for public policy and/or political communication. Interns will be directly engaged with the Center’s policy experts and participate in a variety of activities including research, writing, and web-based projects. They will gain hands-on experience by directly participating in the many diverse activities that progressive nonprofits engage in. American Progress offers a small stipend to reimburse interns for expenses directly related to their internship.
