Help young people stay in public life.
The Centre for Youth Policy is an independent, non-partisan think tank. We research young people's place in politics, bring young officeholders together, and help them do the job once they're elected. We're hiring network managers, an editorial lead and three volunteer interns, all remote.

Questions applicants ask
Do I need to live in the United States?
No. Our headquarters is in Washington, DC, but our networks span West Africa, the Caribbean, the Nordic and Baltic states, the Balkans, the Pacific and Southern Africa. Each role lists where it can be based.
Can I apply for more than one role?
Yes. Send a separate application for each, so we can read your answers to that role's question.
Are the internships paid?
No. All three internships, including Social Media Host and Producer, are volunteer roles. You tell us how many hours a week you can give.
Do you hire people who are active in a political party?
We work with young leaders from every party and none, and we welcome applicants from across the spectrum. The Centre takes no institutional positions on policy issues, and we ask staff to keep it that way in their work for us.
I need an adjustment to take part in interviews.
Tell us in the form, or write to us at any stage. We'll arrange it.
Who reads my application?
Only the people hiring for the role. We don't share applications outside the Centre.
