Political Science Internship Program
Program Overview: The Political Science Internship Program is designed to allow undergraduate majors to participate in experiential learning and/or civic engagement in a public policy field that compliments the student’s political science curriculum. The Internship Program allows students to engage in public service while developing their knowledge of the public policy process. The benefits associated with experiential learning are numerous and include: the application of knowledge acquired in the classroom to real world situations, improved critical thinking, leadership, and communication skills, increased awareness and understanding of community issues, and improved civic engagement. An internship is also a wonderful way to gain valuable work experience prior to graduation.
Participation in the program is open to all political science majors with a Political Science Major GPA of 3.0 or higher. An application for admission must be submitted and approved by Dr. Scott Solomon (see application below) prior to the initiation of an internship to earn academic credits. Students are responsible for securing their own internships placements. This document is designed to help students find available options. Students are generally limited to using 6 credit hours of internships towards Political Science elective credits. Exceptions can be made for some programs that have more credits built into their structure.
Students pursuing an approved internship are eligible for three (3) POS credits for 15 - 24 hours of work per week for the duration of the semester (a total of 225 hours over the course of the term are required.) Students with 25+ hours of work per week (375 hours over the course of the term are required) are eligible for six (6) POS credits. The 6 credit hour course requires a reflection paper at the end that is twice the length of the requirement for those enrolled in a the 3 hour credit course. The same total hours apply in the summer, except that they hours are divided by 6 or 10 weeks, depending on the session.
How to get your Internship approved for Political Science course credit:
You will need to submit this application to seek approval for your internship via http://secure.cas.usf.edu/depts/igs/political-science-internship.aspx

Dr. Solomon will be your Instructor of record for your POS 4941 Internship course, which will be run online via Canvas, and entail writing a reflection paper at the end of the semester. Resources to Locate Internships & Post-Grad Employment:

SIGS Canvas Page:
Remember to check the SIGS Canvas page for Internship announcements. Examples of previous internships include working for candidates seeking political office, or working for organizations seeking to affect political/social change. ***Please note that Internships found via USF Handshake/Career Services – outlined below, or within the general internship and job search websites toward the end of this document, may not be applicable for POL credit. They still may be great experiences to help you grow professionally, but be advised POL internship credit may not be an option. To earn POL internship credits, the internship will need to include work that allows the student to participate in experiential learning and/or civic engagement in a public policy field that compliments the student’s political science curriculum***
Hello from Career Services!
We hope you are all staying well. We have developed an online job search guide for undergraduate and graduate students who are graduating. It will assist them in getting started with their online job search. The guide will walk students step-by-step through the process of finding, applying, interviewing, and landing a job. Open the USF Virtual Job Search Guide so you are familiar with it. We would appreciate if you could help us refer student’s to this guide. It will be contained in the Student Toolkit on the University’s website.
Handshake: Handshake is the online career management system for students of the University of South Florida.
• All active USF students have an account created for them at the start of their first semester at the USF. • To access your account for the first time, log into MyUSF and under the My Resources tab, choose the option to "Find A Job (Handshake)." This will log you into Handshake automatically. Check out our Handshake Quick Guide here. [PDF]
In addition to being the place where you can search and apply for internships, Co-op, part-time, and full-time jobs, you can also use Handshake to:
• Upload a resume and complete your online career profile • Allow your online career profile and resume to be viewable by employers • Keep track of your appointments with Career Services in one location • Learn which employers are attending upcoming Career & Internship Fairs • View upcoming local and on-campus career events • Research contact information for local and national employers • Search for and apply to open positions
RESUME
We recommend that students use resources available on our website to help them create their resumes from scratch, and then use the Handshake system to store their resumes. Handshake is the online career management tool and preferred job and internship platform at the University of South Florida. Students can upload their resume to their profile, use it to build their profile information, and make it visible to recruiting employers. All students have a Handshake account already created for them, which they can access through the MyUSF system. You can instruct your students to log on to MyUSF, hover over the My Resources tab, and click the “Find A Job (Handshake)” link. If they have any issues accessing their account, they can contact our office for assistance.
INTERVIEW
We recommend using Big Interview, a tool that helps students refine their interviewing skills with an interactive tool that dives into general, behavioral, and technical questions from over 140 industries. Students can record, play back, and re-record their responses to questions to see how they improve with time and they get access to an expert who can coach them through their responses.
ePORTFOLIO
There are a variety of ePortfolio tools – via Canvas - that are available at no cost to students.

Thank you for expressing interest in the new USF in DC Pilot Program at USF! I’ve had a healthy amount of responses—wow!

What this means is that we will have two USF students attend in the fall and two USF students attend in the spring.
Who we’re looking for: High-achieving students who have a serious interest in learning more/working in the public policy process in Washington DC. We’re looking for adaptable students who can conduct themselves very professionally and comfortably in the DC politics area.
Please see attached for program details! Again, please not this is a pilot program and this program is likely to have some small modifications made to it after the pilot year.
Next Steps:
For now, please send me a resume and approx. 1 paragraph bio about yourself, major, expected graduation, prior internship experience if any, professional goals, relevant experience, areas of interest, etc. Please also indicate whether you’re interested in Fall 2018, Spring 2019 or future terms of the program once we’re done with this year 1 pilot. I know the document attached says otherwise, but I’m just looking for the above right now.

Last semester, on our New Voters Project, America's largest and oldest nonpartisan youth mobilization program, we trained over 200 volunteers and helped register over 10,000 young people to vote.
This semester, our top priority is to continue to engage as many young people in the political process as possible, regardless of ideology or political affiliation. The 2018 Midterm elections were a huge moment for young people - 31% turned out to vote, which was the highest turnout in the past quarter century. There’s still more to do - our generation continues to be the largest and most diverse group of potential voters in the country. We have the power to elect the next generation of leaders who care about the things we do, and will fight for our vision for the future - but only if we vote. Get involved with our New Voters Project!
We're also working to reduce our dependence on single-use plastics and lower the cost of textbooks - Learn more here.
Florida PIRG interns learn valuable organizing skills, like building a team of volunteers, taking on leadership within a campaign, organizing events on campus, lobbying elected officials, and working with the media. In addition to building skills and adding to a resume, our interns work to create tangible policy change on behalf of the public interest.

Internships with Environment Florida - Make a Difference
Environment Florida is a citizen based environmental advocacy organization that operates at both the state and national level.
At its best, living in Florida is like living in paradise. Sunshine, amazing beaches, incredible natural areas like the Everglades make up some of the best of the world’s natural heritage, and they’re a part of our identity as Floridians. Growing up here my fondest memories are of kayaking through the mangrove swamps, floating along our many natural springs, or just spending time with family along our coastline. People come from all over the world to enjoy Florida’s environment – so of course, it makes no sense to undermine laws and programs that keep our air and water clean.
And of course, few places are threatened by climate change like Tampa Bay. Everything that makes Florida special--from our springs to our beaches to our wild places like the Everglades--will disappear if we don’t drastically change the way we produce and use energy. Global warming is already impacting our way of life here and we are running out of time do anything about it. As a planet and as a country we cannot continue to rollback our most important environmental protections, we need to move away from dirty fuels like coal, oil and gas as quickly as possible and towards 100% clean, renewable sources like solar and wind. Florida is the poster child for climate impacts, so we need to be the national leader for solutions.
One of the main reasons for inaction is that while most people think the government should address climate change , people also rank it a low policy priority so there is little pressure for government to act. In order to protect the places we love and to leave future generations a Florida to call home, we have to ensure that all members of the Florida delegation are doing everything they can to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. That means empowering and emboldening our environmental champions and holding those choose not to take action accountable. By bringing together first responders, health professions, our military leaders, climate scientist, and our business leaders to communicate about current, local climate change impacts we can ensure that our elected leaders are hearing that that state of our environment is a priority for Floridians.
With members across the state and a long track record of success, Environment Florida has worked for decades to defend our air, water, and public lands. We’ve worked hard in the past to protect Florida’s environment, whether it meant taking the 2nd largest chicken producer in the world to court over their Clean Water Act violations and winning, or organizing massive grassroots support to ban fracking in 90 cities and counties all across the state. Environment Florida has made it clear that our vision for Florida’s future is one where everyone has access to clean air and clean water.
We have the power to take real action to defend our state and preserve the Florida we all know and love but we have to act now. Instead of fracking near schools we can put solar panels on their roofs. Instead of drilling for oil along our coastlines we can utilize offshore wind to power our homes. However, we have to make sure that our elected officials aren’t rolling back the very bedrock environmental protections we have and are instead voting for new laws that make this future a reality.
As an intern, you could work with us to educate and engage more students and citizens on the issue. You’d help us get the issue into the media, build coalitions, organize events, and meet with our US Representatives and their staff to show them all the support we have built.
If you want to make an impact on big issues that matter, apply to be an Environment Florida intern TODAY.
As an intern, you’ll help educate and engage more students and citizens on this issue. You’ll help us get the issue into the media, build coalitions, and organize events.
You can read more about our internships on our website: https://jobs.environmentamerica.org/intern- apply.html
We are happy to work with you to accommodate any requirements that may allow you to receive funding from your school or other entity. Please keep in mind that: All intern applicants must commit to working for at least 10 weeks; internships are unpaid; and no future employment or preference for future employment will be provided to successful applicants.
I look forward to hearing from you!

THINK TANK INTERNSHIP LIST Virtually every think tank has a need for interns. Below is a select list of some of the higher profile groups. Review their websites for summer internship details. You may need to poke around the website to find the internship link. They will likely want a short writing sample to demonstrate your writing and research skills. What is a Think Tank? Think tanks are public-policy research analysis and engagement organizations that generate policy-oriented research, analysis, and advice on domestic and international issues, thereby enabling policymakers and the public to make informed decisions about public policy. Think tanks may be affiliated or independent institutions that are structured as permanent bodies, not ad hoc commissions. These institutions often act as a bridge between the academic and policymaking communities and between states and civil society, serving in the public interest as independent voices that translate applied and basic research into a language that is understandable, reliable, and accessible for policymakers and the public.

Pathways Internship Programs
The U.S. Department of State’s Pathways Internship Program includes both the Internship Temporary Program (ITEP) and the Internship Experience Program (IEP). Both programs are targeted toward U.S. citizens enrolled in a wide variety of educational institutions from high school to graduate school and professional academic levels. Both programs provide students with opportunities to explore Federal careers while being paid for the work performed.
ITEP (Internship Temporary Program)
The temporary nature of the ITEP allows for interns to work during seasonal and holiday breaks in academic programs as well as year-round. Interns in this program are appointed to temporary appointments, not to exceed one year or their projected graduation date (whichever is shorter) and extensions may be made in one year increments. The positions to which the interns are appointed have no promotion potential, therefore, students must apply through USAJOBS to be considered for higher-graded positions. ITEP participants who are expected to work 130 hours per month or more for at least 90 days will be eligible to enroll in a health benefits plan. ITEP participants are not eligible for any other benefits until after conversion into the competitive service. ITEP participants are eligible for noncompetitive conversions to the competitive service within 120 days of completion of the Pathways Program.
IEP (Internship Experience Program)
Interns in this program are appointed to permanent, excepted service appointments and do not have a not to exceed date. The appointment is expected to last the length of the academic program for which the intern is enrolled. IEP participants, while in the program, are eligible for noncompetitive promotions if they meet the developed qualification standards for the position. IEP interns are also eligible for federal employee benefits (e.g. life, health, and retirement). Like ITEP participants, IEP participants are eligible for noncompetitive conversions to the competitive service within 120 days of program completion.
Begin by finding out which program is right for you, or speaking with a Diplomat in Residence about student programs with the U.S. Department of State.

What is VSFS?
The Virtual Student Foreign Service (VSFS) is an eight-month remote internship program for U.S. citizen students, college-level and above, who would like to make a real difference in the work of the U.S. government. Since 2009, thousands of eInterns have expanded the efforts of the U.S. government, working remotely from their school, dorm room, apartment, local library or coffee shop – wherever they happen to be! Virtual interns work only on unclassified projects. They report to their supervisors at the Department of State and other federal government agencies in the U.S. and around the world by email, phone, or video chat. VSFS is managed by the Office of eDiplomacy in the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Information Resource Management. VSFS collaborates with federal agencies across government on this program.

• A U.S. citizen • Enrolled as a student in a college level or above degree or certificate program
What kind of work can VSFS eInterns do?
Projects run the gamut, from research to analysis to app development to graphic design to social media management and more. VSFS has something for everyone, which is why the program needs students from every major and background.
How long are VSFS eInternships? eInternships run from September through May of each year.
How many hours per week are students expected to spend on projects?
Students contribute ten hours of work a week on their projects.

FBI Intelligence:
Where a Career as an Intelligence Analyst Can Take You Intelligence Analysts have distinctive and rewarding careers at the FBI — built on the foundation of exploitation, analysis and sharing of information. This is a career where being proactive is key. Intelligence Analysts work closely with Special Agents, other FBI employees and Intelligence Community partners to consolidate comprehensive information into strategic, analytical intelligence products to enhance their teams' understanding of threats, gaps and vulnerabilities. In many cases, this information is found through self-initiated study and research. From assessing, collecting and disseminating raw intelligence to making real-time analytic judgments regarding specific and emerging threats to conducting studies to identify threats and trends, Intelligence Analysts are critical to the FBI's ability to act proactively against evolving threats.

Youth who participate meet with a case manager for assessment and determination of sanctioning program. We see a variety of criminal cases here in JDP, from petit theft to drug offenses to domestic violence. We do our best to link kids up with appropriate programs to stop the criminal behavior before our youth have long term delinquency issues. We are unique in that we work under Court Administration, so interns will also have an opportunity to watch court proceedings and possibly shadow other court programs if interested.”

My name is Molly Bernstein and I am the Associate Directory of Advocacy & Volunteer Research at The Justice Collaborative (TJC). I am writing to share a volunteer opportunity that may be of interest to your students as the school year wraps up and/or in the future. TJC supplies deep legal and policy expertise to organizations throughout the country to cut through the complexity and confusion of local, state and federal laws and procedures that make up our criminal justice system. Our goal is to transform our deeply flawed criminal system so that it's grounded in human dignity and restraint.
Recently, we’ve started a project called The Justice Volunteers, a volunteer task force dedicated to researching a variety of key criminal justice issues. The work done by Justice Volunteers is incredibly valuable to TJC’s goal of holding elected officials in the criminal justice system accountable, advocating for reform-minded policies across the country, and researching and amplifying important local issues related to criminal justice reform. I’ve attached our organization’s Blueprint which further details our approach to criminal justice reform.
We are currently in the process of expanding this task force to include college students from around the country. The students will be able to work with legal, media and policy experts while researching and collecting information that fuels the organization’s work. Almost all of this work is done online and is designed to be as flexible as possible to allow our volunteers to work whenever their schedule permits. I’ve attached the College Student Research Team application for interested students.
Is this something you'd be interested in circulating? I would be happy to discuss in more detail at your convenience. Also, please let me know if there are others at University of South Florida or in the broader community you would recommend reaching out to.
Thanks very much and look forward to hearing from you!
All the best, Molly
