Network with the World. 

Apply for an internship with the U.S. Department of State and connect to the      global community.

The U.S. Department of State represents America to the world.  And as an intern here, so will you. 

This isn’t your typical student internship. It’s interesting. It’s exciting. It’s educational. It’s one you’ll never forget. You’ll connect with fascinating people who are skilled in the art of diplomacy. You’ll work with them to help make a difference on a global scale.

Regardless of your background or major, there are internship opportunities for you.

You never know where your internship could lead you!  Whether you intern at the hub of diplomatic activity in Washington, D.C., or possibly in one of 265 American embassies and consulates around the world, you will experience life in the world of diplomacy. Working closely with those responsible for fighting terrorism, combating the spread of HIV/AIDS, protecting the environment, empowering women, and encouraging free trade, you will have the opportunity to contribute to society and make a difference in the world.  

To meet these challenges, we are looking for diverse, culturally aware, adaptable, well-rounded, strategic-thinking problem-solvers. An internship with the U.S. Department of State is substantive, rewarding and offers you a valuable educational experience that will enhance you professionally and personally.
