All who are selected to participate in CFR’s Blavatnik Internship Program and Robina Franklin Williams Internship Program receive training in the field of foreign policy and international affairs as well as skills training in writing, research, program planning, and much more.
The Development department primarily coordinates and writes grant reports to several dozen CFR donors. The team is searching for an intern to support the work of the team through writing, reviewing, and proofreading several reports and track relevant information. The intern will also assist in donor prospecting efforts through various research projects.
CFR internships are paid, require a 14 - 18 hour commitment, and are filled on a rolling basis.
CFR’s fall internship program gives interns the opportunity to choose whether to work in our office in a hybrid capacity (half in the office, and half remote), or on an offsite fully remote basis.
