Here’s our job announcement for DCFPI’s next Policy Analyst. If you have been looking for your next step — something that combines policy analysis, advocacy, research, writing, and a whole lot of good fun — you will want to check this out.
Want to hear great reasons to work at DCFPI from someone sad to go? Hear from Wes Rivers:
Your research has a tangible and often visible impact on the community in which you live. DC is a small town geographically, but District residents face major challenges. DCFPI’s research informs local policy making and that can have a sizable mark on residents’ daily lives. From more afterschool programs for kids to the construction of new, affordable housing — you can actually “see” the impact of your work in the community.
You work with some of the best advocates in the city. Internally, you will get to work with a super effective team of wonderful researchers — smart, kind, and extremely passionate. Externally, you will work with and learn from a diverse group of local advocates who have many years of grassroots and organizing experience.
DC is a unique place to do policy analysis. DC is a city with a state’s budget, which presents big opportunities to influence positive policy changes.
