The Congressional Hunger Center is currently accepting applications for interns for Summer 2018.
The Congressional Hunger Center (CHC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that works to make issues of domestic and international hunger a priority to policymakers in the U.S. government, and to raise a new generation of leaders to fight against hunger and poverty. Our mission is to train and inspire leaders who work to end hunger, and to advocate public policies that create a food secure world. We strive to be a leader in the movement to ensure access to food as a basic human right for all people. We create and nurture a community of innovative and inspiring leaders who act as change agents, bridging the gap between grassroots efforts and national and international public policy to provide access to nutritious, affordable and culturally appropriate food. We accomplish this mission through our advocacy, policy and coalition work, and our two leadership development programs; the Bill Emerson National Hunger Fellows Program, and the Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellows Program.
CHC is currently accepting applications for the following internship positions (this list will be kept up-to-date to reflect open positions):
Internships with the Congressional Hunger Center are designed to align the talents of our interns with the needs of the organization. To be eligible, you must be a currently enrolled college, community college, or graduate student, or have graduated less than one year ago. Once an assignment is confirmed, an internship plan will be created. College credit may be available. Most internships are unpaid, but some financial assistance may be available to help subsidize local transportation costs. Summer Internships typically run from May through August, but specific start and end dates and weekly schedule will be finalized upon selection.
CHC strongly encourages applications from people of color, members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities, and people with lived experience with poverty or hunger. Applicants will not be discriminated against because of race, religion, sex, national origin, ethnicity, age, disability, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, color, marital status, or medical status.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis; applicants are encouraged to apply promptly. List of available positions will be updated as they are filled; this posting was originally released on 3/26/18.
