The International Rescue Committee in Atlanta is looking for interns with an interest in non-profit and/or non-governmental organizations to join our various departments this fall.  The IRC in Atlanta provides an essential learning experience that serves as a foundation for interns to gain real-life experience and attain proficient skills in various fields.

IRC internships require a commitment of at least 15 hours a week for three months and are unpaid. Available internship opportunities can be seen at www.rescue.org/us-program/us-atlanta-ga/intern-volunteer-assistant-opportunities. To apply for an internship, each candidate must send a resume with a cover letter. They must indicate their preferred internship position as well as up to two alternates. Unfortunately, we will not be accepting applications for Women’s Health and Wellness, as fall internship positions are not available in that department.  The deadline to apply for a fall semester internship is July 15.

Interviews will be held with the relevant departments from June 15 to July 31.  To coordinate with the busy schedule of our staff, applicants must let us know their regular, weekly availability.  Interviews are held at our office, and candidates with special circumstances will need to inform us to coordinate an alternate interview.  We will begin notifying applicants of their status on July 15.
