CFR’s volunteer internships give selected volunteer 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 Council has a volunteer internship available in the studies department. The volunteer intern will report to a senior fellow who specializes in European studies and will help to organize and run the daily activities of the office and participate in research as needed. The volunteer intern will gain knowledge on U.S. political and diplomatic history and European affairs. The volunteer will have the opportunity to enhance writing, editing, administrative, communication, and time management skills. The volunteer will have exposure to professionals in the international relations and policymaking communities, along with opportunities to author or coauthor blog posts for publication on CRF.org.
CFR volunteer internships are unpaid, require a 16 - 21 hour commitment, and are filled on a rolling basis.
