********* The National Council for International Visitors (NCIV) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote excellence in citizen diplomacy, the idea that the individual citizen has the right—even the responsibility— to help shape U.S. foreign relations, as our members phrase it, “one handshake at a time.” NCIV represents and provides services for a national network of independent program agencies and community-based organizations involved in the implementation of international exchange programs.
NCIV interns are invited to work for one academic term: fall, spring, or summer. The internship position takes on particular significance in an office of eight full-time staff members and interns are given a balance of short- and long-term projects. Interns are assigned tasks in outreach, advocacy, publications, resources, conferences, design, and other areas, depending on their backgrounds, skills, and interests. They report to the organization President and work with other members of the NCIV staff on special programs, as well as daily administrative functions. They are often invited to attend special educational and cultural events outside of the office.
Internship starting and ending dates are flexible based on the intern’s academic calendar. Full-time and part-time internship opportunities are available (part-time interns are strongly encouraged to work at least three full days per week). Full-time interns receive a $2,000 stipend (prorated for part-time interns). Additionally, the president will complete forms or evaluations necessary for the intern to receive academic credit for the internship. The internship position is open to both U.S. and non-U.S. citizens (NCIV cannot help non-U.S. citizens obtain visas). *Qualifications: Strong writing, communication, and organizational skills Experience with MS Office (Access, Word, & Excel) and strong typing ability Experience with graphic design (In Design, Photoshop, Dreamweaver) a plus, but not essential Background and interest in citizen diplomacy, public diplomacy, international education and exchange Ability to work under minimal supervision Ability to meet deadlines
