Intern with CIVIC & the Hawkeye Diplomats

Interns play a critical role in the success of CIVIC’s mission.  Internships are volunteer, but offer significant professional development opportunities. Internships permit students to work in a professional setting, contribute in significant ways to the operations of a non-profit organization, enhance their global cultural competency, and to develop and implement projects that may be used to demonstrate work experience to potential employers.

​

CIVIC interns have gone on to attend graduate and professional schools, secure overseas State Department internships, work at area non-profit organizations (e.g., Peace Corps, March of Dimes, Domestic Violence Intervention Program) in a leadership capacity, and for national organizations, such as the Atlantic Council.

​

CIVIC requires a 10 hour per-week, academic year commitment. To apply, please send a current CV or resume and a letter of interest to Dr. Jo Butterfield (civic@iowacivic.org).  Letters of interest should include why you are interested in a CIVIC internship, the specific internship that you are seeking, your year and major, as well as your availability (summer + academic year 2019-20).
