Internship opportunities: WFPG offers three different internship opportunities, focused on programming, communication, and operations. Applicants are welcome to apply for one or more internships. Applications for Spring 2025 are now open and are reviewed on a rolling basis with a deadline of November 1st, 2024 at 11:59 PM. The form will close once we have received 100 applications; accordingly, early applications are encouraged. All internships are fully in-person in Washington, DC.
The Women’s Foreign Policy Group empowers and advances women’s leadership in international affairs through cutting-edge global policy programs featuring prominent women leaders, robust mentoring programs, and premier networking with high-level foreign policy practitioners. Founded over 29 years ago, WFPG expands the foreign policy dialogue across political divides and generations and supports women leaders at every stage of their careers. Women are proven change agents, yet underrepresented in vital areas: in elected office, civil service, the military, and the private sector. We aim to change that.
Interns work as part of the WFPG team and are given the opportunity to expand their knowledge of international issues, learn how a small non-profit organization operates, and connect with accomplished women working in international affairs. Part-time interns who commit to 3.5 months (15 weeks) during the school year or three months (13 weeks) during the summer are eligible for a $900 stipend. Full-time interns who commit to 3.5 months (15 weeks) during the school year or three months (13 weeks) during the summer are eligible for a $1800 stipend.
Part-time internships are 20 hours per week and full-time internships are 40 hours per week. Office hours are 9 am-5 pm, but some events are held in the evening hours. All interns must be eligible to work in the United States. WFPG is unable to sponsor visas.
Programs Internship: WFPG is looking for responsible and motivated interns to focus on planning and outreach for programs with international affairs officials and experts. In addition to assisting with our programs, Programs interns also research foreign policy topics before events, publish articles on events, and assist with membership outreach.
Communication Internship: WFPG is looking for specialized interns to focus on raising WFPG’s visibility and maintaining its digital presence. The Communication interns work closely with the Program Associate and Executive Director on WFPG’s website, social media, quarterly digital newsletter, and print materials, as well as collaborating with Programs interns on programming and event research. While some interns join us with previous web and social media skills, we also welcome applicants with an interest in developing these skills through their internship.
Operations Internship: WFPG is looking for specialized interns to focus on internal operations and organizational efficiency. The Operations interns work closely with the Program Associate, Executive Director, and Board of Directors on WFPG’s brand expansion and strategic growth. They will also collaborate with Communication and Programs interns on relevant projects. While previous operations experience is helpful, we also welcome applicants with an interest in developing these skills through their internship.
