The summer 2017 Youth in International Development and Foreign Affairs internship program will close for applications on January 25, 2017. This date represents a deadline extension from earlier announcements.

USICD will cover the cost of accessible housing in DC during the program, reimburse round trip travel expenses between US locations and DC, and provide a frugal stipend. USICD's internship program focuses on U.S. citizen youth with disabilities from across the country who aspire to careers in international development or foreign affairs. Graduate students and recent graduates with a new bachelor's, master's, law, or other advanced degree are especially encouraged to apply! Youth up to age 30 are eligible. US veterans, and certain other applicants in certain circumstances, are eligible up to age 35.

Over the past four years, the United States International Council on Disabilities (USICD) has placed 24 interns at 17 host organizations in the DC area. Please apply to join the summer 2017 program!

The summer 2017 program will bring a group of talented graduate students, recent graduates, and rising juniors and seniors with disabilities to Washington, DC, for nine weeks. The summer internship program will include one-week of training and orientation, followed by an eight-week internship at an international organization in the Washington, DC, area. Participants in the summer 2017 program will need to be in DC from May 28 to July 29, 2017. These dates may be subject to change.
