Jobs and Internships

The Citizens Budget Commission is a nonpartisan, nonprofit government watchdog dedicated to improving public services in New York City and New York State. We have been a civic force in New York since 1932 and have a long venerable tradition of producing first-rate policy analysis.  We have offices in New York City and Albany.
Internships

The CBC accepts interns year-round to assist with research projects and aid in event organization and media outreach. Applicants should study or have a background in political science, economics, government, public policy or administration, urban affairs or statistics and be interested in the civic affairs of New York State and New York City. Excellent oral communication and writing skills are required. Experience with Excel or Raiser’s Edge is a strong plus.

Both undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to apply. Assignment to research projects and other activities will reflect staffing needs, as well as intern interest and experience.

Opportunities exist for excellent candidates to stay on for additional semesters.

This is an exciting opportunity to be introduced to the workings of New York government, gain familiarity with the people and politics that make the State and City tick, and contribute to the larger public policy debates of the day.
