WYOMING LIBERTY LEADERS
Internship Program
The Wyoming Liberty Leaders program is Wyoming Liberty Group’s immersive internship initiative designed to cultivate the next generation of policy thinkers and civic leaders in Wyoming. The program provides participants with hands-on experience researching, analyzing, and communicating public policy issues that directly affect Wyoming’s economy, workforce, and long-term prosperity.
Liberty Leaders interns work closely with Wyoming Liberty Group’s entire team to conduct original research, evaluate legislation, interview subject-matter experts, and contribute to public-facing policy products such as white papers, summaries, and educational publications. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking, evidence-based analysis, and understanding how free-market principles apply to real-world policy decisions.
The program is built around practical application. Interns are expected to engage with complex policy questions, assess how government actions impact everyday Wyomingites, and communicate findings clearly and responsibly to policymakers, stakeholders, and the public.
Through the Wyoming Liberty Leaders program, Wyoming Liberty Group seeks to equip participants with durable analytical skills, a strong policy foundation, and a deeper appreciation for the role thoughtful, principled policy work plays in shaping Wyoming’s future.
