Internships
We need your help. The ICAF is a small, creative nonprofit organization
based in Washington, D.C. whose work is supported by a dedicated team
of volunteers and
interns from around the world.
We have had a successful internship program since 1997 when the
ICAF was founded. The ICAF has attracted students from a wide variety
of programs, including communication, international studies, event
management, and art therapy. Interns from France,
Germany, India, Mexico, Russia, South Korea, Sweden and Japan have
helped the ICAF in recent years. All internships are unpaid. We
work with students
who wish to obtain academic credit
or meet
other requirements.
In January/February 2008, eleven students from universities in the
U.S. and overseas were helping the ICAF.
See photos of some of our volunteers
and interns at work (and play!).
Who may apply: College or university students in
any accredited degree, undergraduate or graduate program; and
international students.
Time commitment: ICAF asks interns to work with
us for a semester or full academic year (preferred), putting in at
least one full day per week. Summer interns work a minimum of 20
hours per week. As we invest some time training our interns so they
can do substantive work, we generally do not accept internship period
of less than 2 months.
