Legislative And Public Policy & Volunteer Interns will perform a variety of duties, including conducting research for the Engagement Team staff, communicating with internal teams, and assisting in the administrative operations of our office.  As a ProSidian Consulting intern, you own a project or participate in an Engagement Support Capacity that will call on your technical and qualitative skills that can be wrapped up before you leave the internship period.  You will be encouraged to network and build relationships across functions as well as with other interns.  

In addition, we will provide you with some organized social and networking opportunities to help you get connected to other interns and ProSidian Engagement Team Members.  Lastly, we will document and provide you with an appropriate reference and/or letter of recommendation as appropriate to support the pursuit of your future endeavors.
