📢 We're excited to announce two new opportunities: The Leadership Development Program 2026-2027 Fellowship and the Fall 2026 Internship.
Our Leadership Development Program places participants in congressional offices and NGOs working on foreign policy, human rights, and national security. Students receive hands-on experience and direct exposure to the policymaking processes that define U.S. foreign policy.
About the programs:
2026-2027 FELLOWSHIP: A nine-month paid fellowship for graduate students, law students, or those who have recently finished a graduate program. Fellows are placed in congressional offices to gain direct insight into the legislative and advocacy processes that drive U.S. foreign policy. The program is designed to support policy specialization and post-graduate career placement, preparing fellows to pursue mid- to senior-level positions on Capitol Hill and within NGOs, and cultivate the next generation of policy and advocacy leaders.
FALL 2026 INTERNSHIP: A paid internship for undergraduate students and recent graduates. Interns are placed in congressional offices or NGOs focusing on foreign policy, human rights, and national security. The program aims to equip students with the tools and connections needed to launch careers on Capitol Hill and in the broader policy and advocacy community.
We strongly encourage applications from individuals of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) descent, as well as those with a demonstrated interest in MENA-related foreign policy, human rights, and national security.
