Student Internship

The USAID Internship Program (Summer 2021) is designed to provide Interns with substantive work assignments, which expose them to the benefits of a Federal career. The work assigned in most bureaus or offices varies. Typical assignments include a variety of research projects, writing program memoranda, drafting documents, facilitating meetings and/or special events, performing analytical work, attending program discussions in the Agency and/or at the Department of State, communicating on USAID program issues, and performing other duties as assigned. In previous summers interns with scientific and technical backgrounds worked on issues such as climate change, biodiversity, natural resources management, global health, food security, the application of mobile technologies and/or geospatial analysis for development. 

Interns are assigned to work in offices and bureaus throughout the Agency. Interns in all areas are expected to perform some assignments that are administrative in nature.(For more information, please visit our website at http://www.usaid.gov/who-we-are/organization)                                

Please note: a small number of interns may be assigned to work at our missions located throughout the world.
