About the position

The Borgen Project is seeking a passionate individual for the Writer/Journalist Internship, a remote opportunity focused on content creation for BORGEN Magazine and The Borgen Project Blog. This internship is designed for those who are eager to make a difference in the world, particularly in the areas of poverty alleviation and advocacy. The role requires a commitment of 12 hours per week over a 12-week period, although candidates with limited availability can complete the program in fewer weeks by working ahead. This is an unpaid internship, but college credit is available for those who qualify. As an intern, you will engage in various responsibilities that contribute to the organization's mission of improving living conditions for people affected by war, famine, and poverty. The Borgen Project has a rich history of advocacy, having supported the passage of numerous bills that have positively impacted nearly 500 million people in developing countries. This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain experience in writing, research, and advocacy while working remotely and contributing to meaningful projects. The Borgen Project values diversity and seeks individuals from a wide range of backgrounds. The selection process emphasizes a strong work ethic and a genuine passion for fighting poverty, rather than academic achievements alone.
