While our internships are not salaried positions, interns have found the experience of working at UNA and exploring the U.N.'s resources rewarding in other ways, both educationally and vocationally. In many cases, academic credit can be arranged for students requiring documentation. Since the internship is in New York, interns are often able to attend various United Nations meetings, briefings, and special UNA events as well. Applicants are asked to indicate the department in which they prefer to work should take note some internships are not available during all internship periods. If necessary, UNA will suggest another department based on its present needs and the applicant's interests and expressed abilities.
Most departments request a larger number of interns during the summer months.
UNA-USA cannot provide housing for interns but may be able to aid them in their search . Please contact us for suggestions. Most of UNA's work is done in English. The ability to write and speak another language is not required unless specifically mentioned in the program description. Application deadlines Applications for Spring internships are received on a rolling basis.
