Just Internships

Here's a listing of 109 DC-area internship opportunities – mostly related to public affairs. Please note – the * indicates that the Spring semester application deadline appears to have passed. Of course, the information found in these links is believed accurate, but you should probably verify that opportunities are still available if you have any questions/doubts.

Please pass this along to anyone interested in internships/fellowships this Spring or beyond. I also welcome you to post any links to public-affairs intern opportunities in the comments section. I'll remove any that look like spam or not related to public affairs.
