About Heinrich Böll Foundation Washington DC Foreign Policy & Democracy Internship 2024

The Heinrich Böll Foundation in Washington, DC, is looking for a Foreign Policy and Democracy Intern for the spring of 2024.

The Democracy & Foreign Policy intern will work with supervisors from our Transatlantic Democracy and Foreign and Security Policy programs.

The Transatlantic Democracy program brings together US and German policymakers, activists, experts, civil society organizations and community leaders to explore issues that challenge our democracies. The program’s current activities focus on civil rights, domestic policy issues, democratic resilience as well as reconciliation with the past.

The Foreign and Security Policy program addresses issues of global peace & security, democracy, and human rights from a global perspective. Currently, many activities focus on the transatlantic relationship, the war in Ukraine, and the future of the multilateral order. Typical program formats for both programs include panel discussions, publications of policy briefs and articles, study tours, and delegation visits.
