Internships

For 25 years, the National Council for Research on Women has helped shape the future for women and girls.  The Council is a network of 110 member research and policy centers and more than 2,000 top-level researchers.  We provide the information and research needed to foster more equitable futures for women and girls.  The key to the Council’s past and future success is highly-focused, accessible, timely research. Through Research-Action groups organized around urgent issue areas, rapid-response communications campaigns, and a website that features the research, expertise, and information produced by our network, the Council delivers the facts, promotes informed activism, and ensures positive change. 

The Council’s Intern Program exposes interns to the inner workings of a nonprofit while providing valuable job training, mentoring, and networking opportunities.  The program introduces interns to the daily and long-term issues nonprofits currently face.  At the same time, interns immerse in a wide range of women’s issues and are introduced to an extensive feminist network of researchers, advocates, and activists.

To Apply:

Interns will be expected to work a minimum of 10-15 hours per week during the academic semester and 20 hours per week during the summer.

To apply please send a cover letter (including your availability), resume and two writing samples to NCRW@NCRW.org.
The Council works affirmatively to maintain a diverse staff and Board and invites women and men from different generations, race, ethnicity, nation, sexual orientations and perspectives to apply.
