IAVA is looking for highly motivated Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, family members, and civilian supporters to fill openings in our Summer 2015 internship program in New York City and Washington, DC.
This is your chance to learn how to effectively advocate on behalf of the 2.6 million Iraq and Afghanistan veterans nationwide.
IAVA is an equal opportunity employer. Veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are highly encouraged to apply.
Requirements:
All candidates must be eligible to receive academic credit from their college or university and commit a minimum of 20 working hours per week. Please consult with your career office or academic advisor to determine eligibility prior to applying.
Please note that we will be accepting applications up to April 15th, 2015.
If you are looking for an exciting way to spend your summer while earning college credit, IAVA is the place to be!
As an intern at IAVA in either our New York City headquarters or Washington, DC office, you will directly impact the organization's mission to connect, unite, and empower post-9/11 veterans. You will have the chance to learn from leaders in the field and support a growing membership of over 300,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans across the country. The real world experience that you gain at IAVA will allow you to put your own skills to work and succeed in your future career.
Our interns make a real difference and find their time to be rewarding. As Mike Drake 2014 Summer Intern and current Strategic Partnerships Coordinator at IAVA shared:
"I thoroughly enjoyed my internship with IAVA. I was given insider access to meetings and interviews which gave me a greater idea of how legislation is passed in Congress. The friends I made at IAVA over the summer I will stay in touch with for life."
Internships are available in all aspects of our work, including: advocacy, research, communications, development, membership, and programs, among others.
Please note, all internships are unpaid and you must be eligible to receive academic credit from your undergraduate or graduate institution to participate. When choosing which internship to apply for, read through the position descriptions and qualifications to see where your passion fits.
Veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are highly encouraged to apply, as are family members and civilian supporters. Together we all keep our mission strong
