The American Hellenic Institute offers internship positions throughout the year. The internship is an excellent opportunity for those interested in gaining experience in government affairs and foreign policy issues, specifically U.S. relations with Greece and Cyprus. It is designed for undergraduate students, graduate students, and recent graduates, and helps them explore new career avenues and jump-start professions in government, journalism, lobbying, or the nonprofit sector.

Interns work directly with staff members on various activities, including performing research and analysis, drafting letters and memoranda, and assisting with other project-oriented tasks. They also attend lectures held at think tanks, monitor legislation and congressional hearings on Capitol Hill, draft press releases, and assist with general administrative duties.

The duration of the internship varies depending on each student's schedule. During the academic year, they are expected to work a minimum of 15 hours per week. During the summer term, preference will be given to interns who are available to work full-time. The internship is unsalaried. Foreign students are eligible to apply as long as they have a current student visa and/or work permit. Additionally, housing is not provided and interns are responsible for making their own housing arrangements.

To be eligible, interns must be currently enrolled in a college or university or have graduated within 12 months from the beginning of the internship. Interns may receive academic credit for their internship if approved and arranged by their educational institution. Typically, our interns are:

• Highly motivated, responsible individuals with strong research, writing, and computer skills along with excellent oral communication skills.

• Pursuing an educational concentration in public administration, foreign policy, government, political science, or other relevant fields.

• Able to handle several tasks at once while working independently or as a team member.

DEADLINES:

Students apply to the program from universities across the United States; therefore, the program schedule is flexible to accommodate participants and their school’s schedule. Accordingly, internships are accepted on a rolling basis.
