Acton Institute is Hiring New Talent
Acton Institute is Hiring New Talent
Oct 5, 2024 9:15 AM

I am Acton’s Web Coordinator, which means I’m behind the scenes making sure everything works in regards to our web presence and munications. My first post to the Acton PowerBlog brings good news, which is to make everyone looking for a career or internship aware that Acton is hiring talented individuals to fill several positions.

We have a very good internship program that runs primarily during the summer. Interns help out departments including programs, media, publications munications. You might be a web developer or an aspiring theologian; most talented individuals will find something to sharpen their skills in the intern program. Summer interns always help during Acton University, which is an unforgettable experience that introduces you to hundreds of unique people from around the world. If you’re interested you can check out our internship page for additional information.

If you’re finished with college and need a real job, or you’re just looking for a change, we can help you with that too. We’re looking for a great speaker to fill the role of Program Outreach Director. This position involves plenty of travel and you’ll get to meet a lot of new people. If speaking isn’t your strong suit you could apply for the Program Outreach Coordinator position. You’ll be more involved with administrative tasks like making blog posts (probably much better ones than this) and event coordination. The media department has a similar Media Logistics Coordinator opening you could apply for instead. You’ll work with our media department that produces documentaries promoting Acton’s mission and captures the audio and video at our events. If you feel like you mesh well with Acton’s mission and objectives and need a job you may be the person we’re looking for. Visit the careers page for more information about these jobs.

Our main office is located in Grand Rapids, Mich. We accept applications from all around the world, so don’t be shy!

Explainer: What you should know about congressional caucuses
Wait, why should I care about this topic? Americans tend to view partisan politics as being mostly binary—between Republicans and Democrats. But within Congress there are also factions that shape legislative agendas and determine the laws that affect our daily lives. For example, it was primarily opposition by the Freedom Caucus (about 40 members) that stopped the Republican healthcare proposal, the American Health Care Act (AHCA), from being voted on. What is a congressional caucus? A caucus is a faction...
Has Brexit ended bank-bashing?
In 2012, François Hollande ran for president of France bysaying, “My true enemy … is the world of finance.” This month, the Socialist’s former economy minister, Emmanuel Macron, maintained his lead in the race to succeed Hollande by highlighting his work as an investment banker for Rothschild & Co. in a stump speech: “I’ve spent four years of my professional life there, of which I am very proud,” he said at a campaign stop this month. “I’ve learned a lot...
Fed Chair: Unstable childhood makes it harder to succeed as an adult
Embed from Getty Images Children who grew up in poverty were twice as likely to struggle with financial challenges later in life, said Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen in a meeting last week. Yellen was referring to the results of a survey, to be released this spring, that reveals more than half of young people age 25 to 39 who reported that as children they worried over things like having enough food were currently facing financial challenges. “Young adults who...
Global cooperation does not imply global governance
Acton’s Director of Research, Samuel Gregg, recently addressed the myth of national sovereignty being a “relic of the past” and global governance being the singular solution for the West to move forward. In a new article for Public Discourse, he calls out recent reactions to global governance, namely Brexit, as long over-due and something to be expected in opposition to global governance that violates national sovereignty: Twenty sixteen was not a happy year for globalism. In different ways, Donald Trump’s...

What you should know about rent controls
Note: This is post #26 in a weekly video series on basic microeconomics. Rent controls are a type of price ceiling where the government regulates the amounts charged for rented housing. In this video by Marginal Revolution University, Alex Tabarrox shows how rent controls reduce the quality of housing and create shortages by reducing the supply of apartments available on the market. (If you find the pace of the videos too slow, I’d mend watching them at 1.5 to 2...
The future of work: Arthur Brooks on human dignity and ‘neededness’
Although unemployment continues to hover somewhere around 4.7 percent, the labor-force participation rate offers a grimmer outlook, falling from 67% in 2000 to 63% today. With the continued acceleration of globalization and automation, the future of work looks increasingly uncertain. The pains from the decline are widespread and diverse, and are particularly pronounced among men, as Nicholas Eberstadt outlines in his latest book, Men Without Work: America’s Invisible Crisis. “Nearly one in six prime working age men has no paid...
Free trade is not anti-American
