Internship Exploring General Business & Beyond

Clear Path’s mission is to accelerate American innovation to reduce global energy emissions. To advance that mission, we develop cutting-edge policy solutions on clean energy and industrial innovation. An entrepreneurial, strategic nonprofit, Clear Path (501(c)(3)) collaborates with public and private sector stakeholders on innovations in nuclear energy, geothermal, hydropower, natural gas, energy storage, critical minerals, carbon capture and heavy industry to enable private-sector deployment of critical technologies.

Started in 2014 by entrepreneur Jay Faison, Clear Path is a conservative energy advocacy organization that engages in the direct education of policymakers within the Congress, the White House, Executive Agencies with energy and environmental jurisdiction, and regulators.

Clear Path team members believe in small government, free markets, and American entrepreneurship. Those principles form the basis for how the team analyzes proposed clean energy and climate policy.

• Teamwork: We empower each other to accomplish our shared mission.
• Purpose: We believe the principles of limited government, free markets, and fiscal responsibility are essential to achieving our mission.
• Ownership: We empower teammates to visibly own and achieve goals.
• Adaptability: We are open to new, complex ideas and test our assumptions to lead change and advance our mission.
• Curiosity: We have a proactive desire to learn, grow, and improve ourselves, our ideas, and our mission in a thoughtful and focused way.
• Credibility: We agree that being trustworthy and believable is everything for building and maintaining influence.

Interns will be assigned to one team – Policy, Government Affairs or Operations – based on their career goals, while collaborating regularly across the organization. The role provides exposure to Capitol Hill, the Administration, industry and key stakeholder relationships.
