Overview
Each fall, to assist with the most active period of the UN General Assembly, the RMI UN Mission works with a small group of full-time expert interns, who assist the Mission's staff on matters of policy analysis of key focal issues within the UN (and in particular, the plenary and committees of the General Assembly).
Details
A very limited number of part-time internships may be obtained by locally-based students throughout the year.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Due to the high volume of applications, we may not be able to respond to each individual request.
The Mission has also worked with Marshallese college students, recent graduates and young professionals, who have worked closely with the Mission staff on important policy issues. While this opportunity may be contingent upon funding, Marshallese nationals are strongly urged to contact the Mission for more information.
