Weekly Job Board
General Tips & Organizations
Start early and manage your deadlines. Typically, application deadlines for DC summer internships in Think Tanks and NGOs run from February to March. For many internships, especially in the federal government related to foreign policy/national security, the deadlines are typically in the early fall. Internships that require security clearances have the earliest deadlines, some occurring a full year in advance. For more information on internship programs at agencies and think tanks, click below.
