About the Internship
The American Public Gas Association (APGA) is seeking an individual to be a valuable part of our team as the Energy Policy Intern for Spring 2026. This position reports directly to the General Counsel and is located in Washington, DC.
The Energy Policy Intern will work with the APGA legal and advocacy staff on projects and efforts related to federal policy and trade association legal matters. While the position reports to the General Counsel, the position is intended to give successful candidates the opportunity to gain experience across the numerous facets of the trade association.
Specific examples of work for the position may include, but are not limited to:
- Assessing and communicating the impact of federal regulations and legislation, including research or data analysis for APGA’s staff and membership;
- Preparing internal memos on legal issues impacting the public gas industry and/or trade association;
- Drafting comments or position letters responding to proposed federal regulations, legislation, or national codes and standards;
- Other projects, as assigned.
Qualified candidates must be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program. Applicants must also be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.
The position will pay $20 an hour with a maximum of 20 hours per week, unless otherwise approved. Credit hours for time worked can also be granted in lieu of pay, according to your school’s policy. The Energy Policy Intern is a hybrid position, and thus requires reporting to the office on a regular basis. This position is not eligible for certain benefits, including healthcare and retirement.
