The Council on Foreign Relations’ Internship Program offers outstanding opportunities for college and graduate students focusing on international relations who are considering a career in foreign policy or a related field.
Interns are recruited year-round on a semester basis for both the New York and Washington, DC, offices. The fall and spring semesters require a minimum commitment of sixteen hours per week. The summer semester requires a full-time commitment. An intern’s duties generally consist of administrative work, program coordination, research, editing, and writing. The internships are unpaid but provide a small stipend upon successful completion to offset transportation expenses.
Below are links to current internship openings at the Council. The Council updates this section on a weekly basis.
