Remote Policy Advocacy Internship

Are you driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact in the world? Join us at The Borgen Project, an esteemed international organization dedicated to enhancing living conditions for individuals affected by war, famine, and poverty. With two decades of experience in advocacy, we have successfully supported the passage of numerous bills, positively affecting nearly 500 million people in developing countries.

This internship centers around advocating for poverty to be a priority in U.S., Canadian, and U.K. foreign policy. This is a formative part-time position requiring 12 hours per week over a span of 12 weeks. This position is remote and unpaid, but if your schedule is tight, you have the flexibility to complete the program in a shorter timeframe.

• Speak to groups, classes, and organizations about our mission and goals.
• Draft letters of support for essential programs directed towards political leaders, media, and allied groups.

No prior experience is necessary! We welcome individuals who are passionate about addressing poverty and championing justice, regardless of academic background or GPA.

• New programs commence every month; you can choose when to start.

Take this opportunity to advocate for change and make a difference!
