Fall 2026 INTERNSHIP Opportunity
We are seeking interns to work with us on very timely social and public policy issues; substance use SU, mental health, (MH) and public health (PH) policy. Ideally the student(s) will have some familiarity in one or more of these subjects and a strong interest in learning about how public policy works (formal and informal process).
This is an excellent opportunity to hear from key health and health care leadership in and outside of the legislature. You will research and gain insights about the public policy challenges with SU, MH and PH. You will better understand policy applications to individuals, families, and communities across Texas.
The internship will start the first week of September and continue into November 2026 for the right candidate.
The candidate(s) selected will evaluate legislative activity from previous legislative sessions. You will research contemporary sources; academia and thank tanks, media, advocacy groups, and the legislature for insights into these issues.
The fall internship is focused on drafting policy papers designed to shape elected official’s opinions.
The work is remote and will require that you have a computer and telephone. Thank you for your consideration. If interested, please forward your person statement, a writing sample and your work bio to Jon Comola at jrcomola@gmail.com by August 21st.
