AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY COUNCIL, Internship Program Opportunity

Do you have a strong interest in foreign policy and national security?

AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY COUNCIL

Internship Program Opportunity

The internship program at the American Foreign Policy Council (AFPC) provides aspiring young foreign policy leaders with the opportunity to thrive and begin contributing to national security in a meaningful way.

Their program is rigorous and research-based; as such, we award positions only to those who are capable of serious work. Almost all our interns delve into large research projects and assist with the publication of articles and/or the organizing and execution of events with foreign dignitaries. Interns are provided the opportunity to work closely with foreign policy professionals, thanks to the relatively small size of our organization and the selectivity of our intern program. Many of our interns have been published in prestigious media outlets, including, The Hill, Newsweek, The National Interest, the Washington Times, CNN.com, and the Wall Street Journal

Europe, among others.


FULLY FUNDED OPPORTUNITIES

AFPC was formally awarded a grant from the Ascendium Education Group to underwrite qualifying interns’ housing expenses, meals, local transportation costs, and a flight to/from DC. The grant applies specifically to undergraduate students who require financial support (must prove federal U.S. Pell grant eligibility) to travel to and live in DC as well as earn college credit for their internships.

Academic Programs International (API) SCHOLARSHIPS

The Center for a New American Security (CNAS): Indo-Pacific Security

The Center for a New American Security (CNAS) established its flagship internship and mentoring program in honor of Dr. Joseph S. Nye, Jr., who has devoted his career to the preparation and mentoring of generations of Americans and global strategists. CNAS offers full-time (40 hrs/week) internships for a six-month term. Interns are given a $75 per month transportation stipend and an additional stipend of $1,900 per month intended to help cover daily expenses incurred during the internship. As of September 2021, CNAS personnel have resumed working in our Washington, DC office full-time. Therefore, they are now only accepting applicants who can relocate or are already located in the Washington, DC area.

Indo-Pacific Security:

Target start date: February 2023

The Indo-Pacific Security (IPS) Program seeks to inform the exercise of U.S. power and leadership in the Indo-Pacific region through a wide variety of research, publications, and activities, including dialogues with officials, public events, and expert working groups. The program’s research agenda addresses opportunities and challenges for the United States in the region, with a growing focus on issues that originate in the Indo-Pacific but have global implications. Ideal candidates will be team players who have strong writing skills, experience doing detail-oriented work on tight deadlines, and a demonstrated interest in the region. This is a rewarding and fast-paced internship with significant responsibility. Interns will be called upon to assist in research efforts, support events with top experts in the field, and take advantage of opportunities to write under their own bylines. Applicants should familiarize themselves with the department's work through the descriptions and information available on the CNAS website. Your cover letter should, in addition to outlining your qualifications, explain why it interests you. Interns work closely with CNAS staff and are given considerable responsibility.
