Internships
Open Plans interns gain real-world experience in advocacy, research and public policy. Working closely with a staff mentor, interns pursue a specific project for the duration of their internship. With their mentors, interns gain valuable connections and learn from insiders in communities, city agencies and fellow advocacy organizations.
