There are still lots of open positions. Let's find the one that's right for you.
The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) is a nonpartisan policy institute dedicated exclusively to promoting pluralism, defending democratic values, and fighting the ideologies that threaten democracy. The organization was founded shortly after 9/11 by a group of visionary philanthropists and policymakers to engage in the worldwide war of ideas and to support the defense of democratic societies under assault by terrorism and militant Islamism. FDD combines policy research, investigative journalism, strategic communications, and democracy and counterterrorism education. FDD's internship program offers opportunities for interns to participate in a twice-monthly speaker series, engaging with high-level DC officials and senior staff members. Interns will work closely with senior staff to build on their academic skills and are encouraged to earn academic credit for their internship. All interns are eligible for a stipend, contingent upon the completion of specific government documentation. The Center on Economic and Financial Power will offer both hybrid and remote internship options for the Summer 2025 semester.
