Introducing the Google Policy Fellowship

As lawmakers around the world become more engaged on Internet policy,  
ensuring a robust and intelligent public debate around these issues  
becomes increasingly important. That’s why we're announcing our second  
summer for the Google Policy Fellowship Program—to support students  
and organizations working on policy issues fundamental to the future  
of the Internet and its users.

Program Overview

Fellows will have the opportunity to work at public interest  
organizations at the forefront of debates on broadband and access  
policy, content regulation, copyright and trademark reform, consumer  
privacy, open government, and more. Participating organizations are  
based in either Washington, DC, San Francisco, CA , Ottawa or Toronto,  
Canada and include: American Library Association, Cato Institute,  
Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic, Center for  
Democracy and Technology, Citizen Lab, Competitive Enterprise  
Institute, Creative Commons, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Future of  
Music Coalition, Internet Education Foundation, Media Access Project,  
New America Foundation, Progress and Freedom Foundation, Public  
Knowledge, and Technology Policy Institute. More information about the  
host organizations and the areas of focus for the fellows are outlined  
here.

Fellows will be assigned a lead mentor at their host organizations,  
but will have the opportunity to work with several senior staff  
members over the course of the summer. Fellows will be expected to  
make substantive contributions to the work of their organization,  
including conducting policy research and analysis; drafting reports  
and analyses; attending government and industry meetings and  
conferences; and participating in other advocacy activities.
