The Movement provides opportunities for unpaid graduate student internships of from three to six months in support of its research and advocacy efforts. Interns work directly under the supervision of the Movement’s secretariat professional staff based in Toronto, Washington DC and New York, provided primarily by The Hunger Project.

Interns (and secretariat staff) work remotely, in daily communication with staff via slack, email and Google Meet.

Interns gain experience in writing, policy analysis, organizing meetings and events, and representing the Movement at meetings where feasible.

To apply, kindly send a cover letter stating your intention for your internship, your resume and a short (2-4 page) writing sample to advocacy@thp.org.

The Movement for Community-led Development and The Hunger Project deeply appreciate the substantive contributions of the following interns.
