USAID Student Internships Available

USAID offers both paid and unpaid internships for qualified students during the academic year.

We draw enthusiastic and forward-thinking interns from a wide variety of fields of study.
Interns generally work in one of USAID’s offices in Washington, D.C., supporting programs in fields such as economic growth, agriculture, education, health, environment, democracy and governance, conflict prevention, and humanitarian assistance.

The work assigned to an intern typically includes:
  • Research
  • Writing program memoranda
  • Drafting documents
  • Facilitating meetings and special events
  • Attending program discussions in the Agency, at the Department of State, or on Capitol Hill
  •  Communicating about program issues with USAID field Missions abroad, and with USAID’s many stakeholders and the general public
