Program Highlights

• Substantive work experience: Less than 30 percent of an intern's responsibilities include administrative duties.
  
  
• Work directly in your field of study, gaining valuable knowledge that can enhance your professional development.
  
  
• Make professional connections and form networks within an international non-governmental organization.
  
  
• Speaker series, featuring Carter Center staff and other invited guests.
  
  
• Scheduled career development opportunities with senior Carter Center staff.
  
  
• Exclusive intern-only question-and-answer session and photo opportunity with President and Mrs. Carter.
  
  
• A weekend excursion to the Carter's hometown of Plains, Ga., where we have lunch with the Carters and visit historic sites devoted to their life and work.
  
  
• Social and team-building opportunities with interns and staff.
  
  
• All internships are based in Atlanta.  However, opportunities arise for interns to travel with staff on Center-related trips (e.g. election-monitoring missions, domestic and international conferences, training workshops).
  
  
• Membership in the intern alumni group, which keeps you connected with the Carter Center's work as well as with hundreds of former interns.
