Full job description

Internships at Truth Initiative!
Truth Initiative is currently searching for energetic and COMMITTED individuals for our Internship Program.
Could this be YOU?
Moving toward empowering the first generation to end smoking is more than just a job 'it's what motivates us every day. We're looking for a qualified individual who shares this spirit to participate in our internship program. 
As a Truth Initiative intern, you'll gain practical knowledge on public health issues, real world professional experience, valuable workplace skills and general career guidance. You'll work hard, learn a lot and have fun, too.
If you are confident that your diligence and passion can affect change, we want to hear from you! Our semester-long internships are paid and available in the fall, spring and summer.  Opportunities vary each semester, but are typically in the following areas of specialization: Marketing, Communications, Public Policy, Human Resources, IT, and Research. Read below for more information!
How Long Will This Internship Last?
The duration of the internship varies depending on the semester. The fall and spring internships align with university academic semesters, while the summer internship runs from June to August. Fall and Spring Interns are requested to work between 15 to 20 hours a week, while summer interns may work up to a full-time schedule (37.5 hours). Interns are eligible to participate in the program for up to two semesters.

What Kind of Work Will I Do?
  • Research Interns - The Schroeder Institute will contribute to the department’s research projects. Examples of past tasks of interns include conducting literature searches for projects, testing online surveys, content analysis (e.g., social media surveillance), and preparing results. Ideal candidates are detail-oriented, possess excellent communication skills, and can work independently as well as collaboratively with other departments and in a fast-paced environment. Current students pursuing their graduate degree in Public Health are preferred. An interest in behavioral research and/or interest in tobacco control research is a plus. 
     
  • The Development and Partnerships Intern will support Truth Initiative's Development and Partnerships expertise center and broaden their knowledge of partnerships, fundraising, grantmaking, project management and college activism. The intern will be involved in work supporting the Culture + Cessation Collective, Youth Engagement Alliance, state and local outreach, the Tobacco/Vape-Free College Grant Program and development work. The intern will be responsible for activities including college leader support, support for special events (in person or virtual), researching potential funders, virtual meeting logistics and notes, and data entry.  Ideal candidates are undergraduate students with a demonstrated interest in college activism, grants, public health education and health promotion.  Applicants pursuing a degree in public health, marketing, political science, or related fields are preferred.
     
  • The Public Policy Intern will provide policy support for Truth Initiative’s outreach with various federal, state, and local governmental entities for the regulation of tobacco products. In this role, you will provide support for regulatory and other activities, including research and policy analysis related to tobacco control laws. This internship also provides opportunities to become familiar with the political process by way of Capitol Hill hearings and briefings. You will be fully integrated into the Public Policy team and will participate in team meetings. Ideal applicants will have an interest in public health/public policy and a strong interest in government affairs work and be detail-oriented with excellent organizational skills.
What Kind of Background Do I Need?
Intern candidates are current students pursuing their undergraduate degree (graduate students are only considered for internships with our research and innovations teams). A passionate interest in public health or tobacco control is a plus. Experience working on multiple tasks and projects in a fast paced environment is essential. 

So what's in this for me?
Do I get paid? YES! Interns are paid competitively at $18.50/hour for undergraduate students and $21.50/hour for graduate students.
Will the work schedule be flexible? Yes, interns are expected to work a hybrid work schedule.
Will I be able to contribute to positive change in the lives of millions? Absolutely! The rewards are more than what can fit on this page!
So what's stopping you? Apply today!

HOW TO APPLY:
Interested applicants should submit their cover letter, resume and be prepared to answer a few questions about your interest.

No telephone calls please.   
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran status or disability.

At Truth Initiative, we envision a future free from nicotine addiction—a future that fosters healthier lives and a more resilient nation. Our mission is clear: prevent youth and young adult nicotine addiction and empower quitting for all. Our mission drives everything we do to advance public health, address inequities, and empower lives free from the physical, mental, and financial toll of nicotine dependence. We create meaningful change at both the population and individual levels. Through our field-leading approach to behavior change and policy change, we prevent addiction, increase quitting, reduce nicotine dependence, and expand cessation support. By addressing systemic challenges and empowering individuals, we achieve transformative public health impact. Our nationally recognized public education campaigns like truth® have helped drive down youth smoking from 23% in 2000 to under 2% today and reduced youth e-cigarette use to its lowest level in a decade. Our newest youth and young adult campaign, Outsmart Nicotine, introduces a new generation to our market-leading, free EX Program, equipping them with the tools, resources, and support to quit for good or never start in the first place. Following the science and data, we are focusing on young adults (18-24) where prevalence of e-cigarette use is high and dual use of cigarettes is a growing concern. Developed over 15 years ago in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, EX Program has helped millions of people build the skills and confidence to successfully quit, and our research has shown that using EX Program can increase odds of quitting by up to 40%. Together, we are creating a movement: one that empowers people to leave nicotine behind and embrace a healthier future.
