Applications are open for the Atlantic Council Young Global Professionals Internship – Spring 2025. Consistent with their mission of “shaping the global future together,” the Atlantic Council’s Young Global Professionals Program serves as a cornerstone of their vision to create a more free, secure, and prosperous world by shaping the next generation of global leaders.
This prestigious paid internship program for intellectual entrepreneurs offers hands-on experience working at the forefront of international affairs and global engagement. The program is also designed as a career accelerator. Through two separate cohorts throughout the year, their program will provide driven, diverse, high-performing classes of young professionals the opportunity to represent the Council’s values and advance our mission with integrity in high-impact, global careers at the Council and beyond.
Program participants will receive in-depth exposure to one of Atlantic Council’s 16 programs or centers and become a valuable part of the Atlantic Council team through engagement with leading strategists, government officials, business leaders, tech entrepreneurs, and military commanders; exposure to the writing and editing process for publications and the logistical elements of event planning; and creating initiatives within a foreign affairs institution.
