SUMMER INTERNSHIPS

Summer 2024 interns must be physically located in and have a local address in Virginia, Maryland, or the District of Columbia during the duration of their internship.

Interns are required to be onsite for the majority of their workweek. Ideally, onsite days should align with the Foundation’s hybrid schedule which currently requires all staff to be onsite on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If interns cannot be onsite on these days, an onsite schedule should be discussed during the interview process.

Hired interns will be provided a laptop and necessary software for the expected duration of their assignment.

Applications will not be considered after March 1. To apply, click the “Apply Now” button at the bottom of the position description. If applying for more than one internship, you must submit separate applications for each position.
