Programs
CRGD's programs are how new people enter public policy. Fellows take on a full research project, interns work alongside researchers, coordinators carry CRGD's work into their colleges and districts, and campus clubs make policy a subject students argue about.
Fellowships are full time or part time research positions of six to twelve months. Fellows design and complete a policy research project under supervision, publish their findings and present them to people who can act on them.
3 programsInternships of four to twelve weeks for students and recent graduates. Interns join a research vertical, work on live projects and finish with an internship report that CRGD publishes when it meets the standard.
3 programsCoordinators represent CRGD in their college, university or district. They organise events, gather local evidence, recruit club members and connect their communities with CRGD's research.
2 programsCRGD Policy Clubs are student led groups in colleges and universities. They read, debate and write about public policy, run mock legislatures and budget simulations, and contribute to the Young Thoughts series.
