Volunteering

Consider volunteering as a way to explore your interests, build your resume, and connect with the community!

Volunteering in the Classroom

A great way to gain experience is by volunteering in the classroom. This can be done by simply calling a school (try to choose one that is near where you live) and letting them know how you would like to get involved. If you have a specific age or area you'd like to volunteer with more, let them know and they can get you started. It's that easy!

From media appearances in major outlets, conferences, and book publishing to top-quality research and engagement on Capitol Hill and with key agencies, Cato has successfully injected the libertarian perspective into mainstream policy debates in Washington, DC, and across the country.  About the Cato Internship ProgramCato’s paid internships are for undergraduates, recent graduates, graduate students, law students, and early-career professionals who have a strong commitment to individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace—principles that, taken together, constitute libertarianism, known alternately as “classical liberalism,” “market liberalism,” or, to many of our international friends, just “liberalism.” All Cato interns attend the same intensive seminar series, which covers a broad range of history, philosophy, policy, and professional development topics. Interns also aid with events and occasionally help Cato staff with other day-to-day needs. Interns receive competitive compensation. Part-time positions are adjusted accordingly and carry a minimum of 25 hrs./wk. Program participants must be available in person in Washington, D.C.  We encourage you to explore our website for more information about the internship program and experience.  If you have any questions, feel free to email Cortez Bartolome, Programs Coordinator, at studentprograms@cato.org
