Job Description

We're seeking a motivated intern to join our Government Relations Team. This internship offers hands-on experience in policy research, legislative tracking, and strategic analysis.

Additional responsibilities include participating in meetings with policymakers and internal leaders and helping organize and facilitate training sessions and follow-up engagements.

We are looking for a student intern to start in May or June and work 30 hours per week during the summer with the potential to continue working into the school year.

We have one current internship opening and will consider candidates interested in being located out of our Lincoln, NE, Omaha, NE, or Springfield, MO offices.
