Spring 2025 INTERNSHIP Opportunity – Wye River Group

Wye River Group

Spring 2025 INTERNSHIP Opportunity

We are seeking interns to work with us on timely social and public policy issues, such as substance use (SU), mental health, (MH) public health (PH), life sciences and health technology. Ideally the student(s) would have some familiarity in one or more of these areas and a strong interest in learning how public policy works.

This is an excellent opportunity to meet health and health care influencers and gain insights about the challenges in SU, MH and PH application on individuals, families, and communities across Texas and how public policy is addressing those challenges.

This term we have a special focus on the legislative process ast the Texas Legislature will be in session. In addition to other responsibilities each intern will participate in crafting a bill analysis, tracking the legislation (formerly) HB 4687 (88th R) known as the Texas  Trust. 

The internship will start late January and continue through late May 2025. The candidate(s) selected will work directly with Anita D’Souza, Senior Fellow at WRG and Jon Comola, founder WRGH. 

The interns selected will learn how legislation is advanced, policy and legislative research tools, policy development, and writing a bill analysis/policy paper.

The interns will also have the opportunity to hear from insiders on the formal and informal processes that shape public policy, meet policy experts, and hear from thought leaders in these issue areas.

All work is remote and will require that you have a computer and telephone. Note there may be a field trip to the capitol. 

Thank you for your consideration. If interested, please contact us at the email below.
