World Affairs Council Internship, Seattle

Greetings from the World Affairs Council!

We thought some of your students or advisees may be interested in the
following internship opportunity:

Here at the World Affairs Council in Seattle, we have quarterly unpaid
internships for up to 12 internationally-minded students in the Puget
Sound Community.

Our interns commit 12-15 hours per week during our office business
hours, which are 9am-5pm Monday through Friday for 10-12 weeks (3 - 6
months). Our interns gain valuable hands on skills and perform basic
office tasks plus special projects, which vary depending on the
department. In the past, special projects have included accompanying
high-level international delegates to their meetings in Seattle, writing
grants, and co-creating international curriculum for local schools.
Whether your interest is in applying what you have learned in your
international affairs class, tweaking your office skills and resume, or
finding out about the inner workings of a not-for-profit, there are lots
of opportunities for you at the World Affairs Council! And what's more,
after you complete your internship, you will receive a complementary one
year membership plus receive monthly newsletters with job, intern, and
volunteer opportunities.

The World Affairs Council in Seattle has six departments which include
Administration, Development, Membership, International Visitor Program,
Community Program, and Global Classroom. If you are interested in
applying, please take some time to review the website at
www.world-affairs.org/aboutus_internships.html
and take a
closer look each department. You may submit your resume and cover
letter to Ms. Mel Carnay at mcarnay@world-affairs.org
. The deadline for the Winter
Quarter internship is November 21, 2008.

If you have any questions, please contact our Office Manager, Ms. Mel
Carnay, at mcarnay@world-affairs.org. We regret that we are only to
able to contact candidates selected for interviews.

We look forward to your application.
