The Afghanistan - America Foundation is seeking highly
motivated college and graduate students for full- or part-time
internships. Established in 1995 and chaired by former Congressman
Don Ritter, the Afghanistan - America Foundation is a Capitol
Hill-based non-profit, non-partisan organization devoted to
facilitating dialogue and education on nation-building and
democratization in Afghanistan, South and Central Asia.
The Afghanistan - America Foundation's Washington Office
serves as a research and information center as well as a point of
liaison to U.S. policymakers and others concerned about Afghanistan
and the region. In addition, the Foundation is currently in the
process of releasing a White Paper on U.S. Policy Toward
Afghanistan to serve as a guide for policymakers on this
critical issue.
In the work place, interns will work with staff members who have
extensive knowledge in foreign policy and the non-governmental
sector. The internship provides students interested in international
careers with unique opportunity to gain direct experience in one of
the post-Cold War era's most protracted and destabilizing conflicts.
