Categorize programs by type, audience, geography, and delivery model to explore preliminary analysis of patterns in the distribution of civics programming across California. Additionally, the intern will help identify opportunities to deepen existing partnerships or reach newly identified civic programs. If time allows, the intern will work with the team to help shape content for student sessions, including resources and toolkits. The intern will be a member of the Understanding California's Future policy group.

PPIC offers access to the Institute of Governmental Sciences library at the University of California, Berkeley, allowing interns to work with many important databases, journals, and statistical datasets. The intern program also includes a discussion of California state policy by PPIC's government affairs staff.
Each intern's project will include an initial meeting with research staff, and towards the end of the project, a briefing by the intern on the goals, findings, and significance of the project. In 2026, the following days are expected to be in-person for all interns:
Internship kickoff in San Francisco
Capitol tour in Sacramento
Final presentations in San Francisco
Interns are encouraged to discuss their work throughout the course of the project, to meet with research staff to discuss careers in research, and to meet with communications staff to learn about outreach and building an audience of policymakers.
