CFR’s volunteer internships give selected interns the opportunity to receive training in the area of foreign policy, as well as skills training in areas such as writing, research, and program planning. The volunteer intern will gain exposure to policy research and think tanks, and develop research and writing skills in a professional context.
CFR volunteer internships are unpaid, require a 16 - 21 hour commitment, and are filled on a rolling basis.
