In addition to internships, the Hinckley Institute offers publicly available political forums, scholarships, classes, excursions to Washington, D.C., and a campaign management minor.

The Hinckley Institute sends approximately 150 students each year to the most prestigious organizations in the Salt Lake City area.

They have also worked in a number of non-profit organizations such as the American Cancer Society and the Utah Disability Law Center.

An intern may be asked to track legislation, write speeches, attend committee meetings, research issues, and analyze bills.

State legislative interns represent the University of Utah and the Hinckley Institute of Politics, and therefore, the highest conduct is expected.

[8] These interns work for members of the Utah delegation on Capitol Hill, the U.S. Supreme Court, and major think tanks that affect American national policy.

Students shadow legislators, congressmen and senators as well as learn the methods of lobbying, media coverage, and communication within the U.S. national government.

From there they traveled to Washington, D.C., where they established their headquarters in the offices of Policy Impact,[11] a lobbying and public relations organization under the leadership of William Nixon (a Fellow of the Hinckley Institute of Politics).

[13] The Hinckley Institute facilitates political forums during the academic school year, offering students the opportunity to hear from leading local, national, and global experts and opinion leaders, on topics ranging from local and municipal government and elections, resource management, environmental sustainment, housing, employment and education policies, national and international issues such as human rights, health care, constitutional law, the rights of women and minorities, the effects of the media, international relations and policies pertaining to the Middle East, Europe, South America and Asia, and the effects that U.S. national policy has on international events, terrorism and the economy.

Students may receive credit for attending political forums, in addition to increasing their awareness of current local, national, and global events.
