Internships

Thank you for your interest in a World Affairs Council Washington DC internship. Through our Embassy Series, Foreign Policy Series, Meet The Ambassadors Series, Author Series, Distinguished Speaker Series, Young Professional Events, Town Hall meetings, and educational programs, like the Summer Institute, we are committed to improving the public’s understanding of critical issues facing the United States and the international community. Our prime location in the nation’s capital allows us to feature prominent foreign policy experts from academia, government, and the private sector.

The World Affairs Council of Washington DC is looking for bright, energetic university and graduate students with an interest in international affairs to serve as interns. The Council's internship program offers a unique opportunity to be involved in the programming and management of a nonprofit organization committed to expanding public understanding and awareness of global issues.

Interns will also help conduct and prepare for the Council's public events, including Town Hall meetings, book events and panels on contemporary international issues. Interns will also be responsible for preparing brief written reports on the Council's events.

Interns must have: background or strong interest in international affairs, education, foreign affairs; excellent written and oral communications skills; strong computer skills (Knowledge of HTML software highly desired but not mandatory); attention to detail. Since many of the World Affairs Council's public events are in the evening, international affairs interns must be able to commit to working some evening hours (6:30-8:30 pm).

Please use the form above to submit your resume, cover letter, and a short writing sample to the internship coordinator. Candidates for the Spring of 2009 must apply by Nov 7, 2008.
