The Search for Common Ground is accepting applications for its International Internship Program which provides an opportunity to young people interested in pursuing a field of conflict transformation.
The program is open to students (preferably at graduate level) and recent graduates in the USA and internationally, who are self-funded and available to work between 2 and 3 months from June 2011.
To qualify for an International Internship at SFCG, you must meet the following requirements:
- You must be enrolled full- or part-time in an accredited university, preferably as a graduate student. Students who have completed school within the past 12 months may also apply.
- Preferably enrolled in a conflict resolution or peace studies, international development, Media & communication studies, Peace Journalism, or related field of study.
- Preferably be fluent in a foreign language relevant to the country where you want to work (notably French, Portuguese, or Hebrew/Arabic) with good levels of written and spoken English.
- You must be self-funded and able to work 40 hours a week.
SFCG does not provide funding for International Internships. You may wish to explore what funding your academic institutions or national government might offer before applying. While Interns are expected to cover the cost of travel to the country in which they will serve as an intern, and their daily expenses in the country, SFCG will provide travel insurance and pay interns a per diem rate at the same level of local staff for work conducted away from their internship base.
Deadline to submit applications is 28 February 2011. For more information, visit this link.
