Embassy internship program

Learn diplomacy where it actually happens.

Our internship tracks place selected young people inside diplomatic missions and partner institutions, where they contribute to real programming and learn the craft of international engagement first-hand.

  • Mentored placements with mission staff and program teams.
  • Skills that travel — communication, protocol, project delivery, cross-cultural fluency.
  • A lasting network of peers, mentors, and alumni across missions.
