- Submit your resume, a sample social media post, and 250 words explaining why you’re a good fit for the internship to: corina@globalexchange.org
- Although not required, there’s a preference for candidates in the DC-Maryland-Virginia area due to the nature of advocacy work.

- Flexible start date, preference for a mid-March start date; however, there’s an expectation that the internship will run for at least 3 months.
Unfortunately, the internship is not paid. We recognize that this may be a barrier to applicants. We offer extensive mentorship and connections to our large network of allied organizations.
