The Public Affairs Section at the U.S. Mission-Pakistan had a process in place for several years to collect nominations on a prescribed nomination form, from different sections/agencies of the Mission via its internal SharePoint site connected to Microsoft Access. The entered nominations are then compiled into a book format for the IVLP selection committee members to review and select the most suitable candidates. The SharePoint site has several limitations that slows down the process and it’s not accessible outside the State Department environment.
The selected e-intern will review the existing IVLP process and suggest ways and assist in making the process more efficient and effective. The e-interns will work with the Exchanges team in the creation of a new IVLP nomination form. The e-intern will review the Public Affairs Section’s recruitment strategy and will also provide advice on the design of a survey tool that will help collect analytics of IVLP nominees, with the goal to ensure nominees reflect the diversity of Pakistan and advancing key U.S. foreign policy goals.

Pakistan generally sends over 100 IVLP exchange participants on 20-25 projects every year. This e-internship is your chance to be a part of a meaningful monitoring and evaluation effort that will provide data for future programmatic decisions.

1) Mapping the full range of traditional news media outlets in Iran and within the diaspora;
2) Compiling brief overviews of main outlets and identifying funding sources and ownership;
3) Identifying the ideological spectrum of media outlets;
4) Analyzing editorial focus of media (e.g. domestic Iranian issues; foreign policy of Iran; international affairs, etc.);
5) Creating short biographies of key contributors (editorialists and prominent journalists) focused on their backgrounds and intellectual interests;
6) Create bi-weekly one-page report highlighting how Persian media covered a specific topic of US foreign policy.
Intern 2: Your work could include:
1) Identifying key international affairs influencers (journalists, public intellectuals, etc.) on Persian-language Twitter;
2) Creating biographical overviews of their backgrounds and accounts;
3) Compiling demographic sketches of the audiences they reach (youth, young adults, socio-economic class);
4) Analyzing responses to U.S. foreign policy actions toward Iran (positive, negative, neutral, conspiratorial, etc.)
5) Create bi-weekly one-page report highlighting how Persian Twitter commented on a specific topic of US foreign policy.

The small Public Affairs team in Nicosia is a busy section working to engage local audiences, especially Cypriot youth, through social media and various programs. Our staff works to develop fun and innovative projects and create opportunities to initiate constructive discussion on U.S. culture, values, policies, and education.
We are looking for an enthusiastic individual who is familiar with social media trends and developments to engage Cypriot audiences on our channels. We believe that American students would be uniquely positioned to assist our small staff in producing quality content. We encourage our interns to propose ideas and create content. Candidates with skills in copywriting, graphic design, photo editing, or video editing are more competitive, but many have grown through the internship. You may also be asked to research and draft presentations used by foreign service officers for our Embassy Speakers program, and to support alumni engagement through content development or direct outreach.
We are committed to providing interns with opportunities that meet their interests and provides substantive experience to further their goals and education. |

The U.S. Embassy in Cyprus uses social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to advance our Mission goals. Despite the small Public Affairs team, we work to prepare interesting daily content for our audiences. If you are selected, you will work with us on developing public facing content in the interesting political environment that exists in Cyprus. We design both short- and long-term campaigns to reach the public. You will work closely with our Public Diplomacy team to design these campaigns and explore new outreach tools.
We communicate with interns through a regularly scheduled teleconference calls, emails, and online document collaboration through cloud-based applications. Occasionally, Virtual Interns may participate in public diplomacy team meetings through teleconferencing to gain a more holistic understanding of how specific projects contribute to the larger goals of the Public Affairs Section.
Successful candidates would need to familiarize themselves with Cyprus and our Embassy’s social media channels. Desired skills include copywriting, photo and video editing, basic design, basic analysis of metrics, creative thinking, and excellent judgment. Awareness of current State Department priorities and campaigns is preferred but not required. As needed, interns will work on special projects relating to American history, music, education, and art. Video editing projects feature Ambassador Garber or other diplomats to help the Embassy connect with local audiences. At times, Nicosia’s Virtual Interns may also be asked to help with audio and video transcription, assist with budgeting, and draft proposals. Due to the virtual nature of the position, ability to work independently, responsiveness to emails, and adherence to deadlines is essential. Knowledge of either Greek or Turkish would be welcome and helpful, but not required.
The Embassy also prioritizes the promotion of U.S. Education among secondary and tertiary students in Cyprus. Interns may be asked to create content by combining EducationUSA and other U.S. Government materials with content based on their own experiences or by coordinating with Cypriot students currently studying in the U.S.
Every year, the Embassy organizes a series of speaker programs with presentations and discussions by Embassy officers at local schools and institutions. Virtual Interns may work with speakers to prepare presentations and research materials in the form of historical background, videos, and photos for these presentations.
Through this internship, the selected candidate will gain experience in the State Department’s Public Diplomacy work with foreign audiences and will leave with a better understanding the U.S. Foreign Service, it’s organizational culture, and department priorities.

Right now is an unprecedented time in higher education, and we're looking for brilliant VSFS assistance to track what is happening in higher education and study abroad. We produce weekly reports monitoring media, developments in international education and toplines to help program officers throughout ECA shape U.S. government international exchange programs.

The other half of the internship is helping promote USA Study Abroad. We manage our own scholarship programs, building capacity for study abroad at U.S. and foreign institutions, aggregating resources from U.S. federal agencies and foreign governments online, and demonstrating the value of studying abroad. To do this work, we need dynamic, engaging content showing the impact of our programs and the latest trends in study abroad to use on our website, social media, and fact sheets.
You will help tell the stories of the Critical Language Scholarship, the Gilman Scholarship Program, and our higher education partners by creating and sharing infographics that highlight our work through quantitative data and dynamic visuals showcasing our program participants, alumni, and their activities. Design projects could include stand alone informational one pagers, graphics for use in internal and external reports, and social media and website content. We will often have specific graphics that we will ask you to design, but we also encourage you to analyze study abroad trends and identify stories to highlight.

The United States Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia periodically holds live public auctions to dispose of worn out furniture, broken appliances, decommissioned IT hardware, and scrap material. In the past, all of these auctions were held in person at the Embassy's warehouse, and were advertised by word of mouth and print advertisements in local newspapers. The auctions help to divert tons of waste from ending up in a local landfill, and instead infuse the local economy with hard-to-find imported goods that are reused and repurposed by local merchants and artisans.
We are now modernizing our auction procedures by moving some of our auctions online (using https://online-auction.state.gov/). We need an energetic self-starter to develop a no-cost advertising campaign to get the word out to potential bidders, as well as educate them on how to use the online auction platform.
The ideal intern for this project is someone who understands the basics of online auctions and is willing to learn the specifics of the Department of State online auction platform (registration, bidding, payment). They should be comfortable navigating and posting on social media platforms, and know how to reach groups and individuals who match our demographics. And finally, they should be creative and capable of creating unique, eye-catching, advertisements that will generate interest and result in more individuals bidding on our online auctions.

The more practice they get speaking their target language, the more prepared they will be for their language exam, and most importantly, to do their job at post. We are looking for native Lao speakers to converse with our Foreign Service Officers in an informal setting, by either phone or video chats. Conversations may start out very basic, on every day topics, and will become more sophisticated as the Diplomats advance in their training. By speaking Lao with our Diplomats, you will have a unique opportunity to help them improve their language competence and to learn from them all about their careers, while you discuss Lao culture, history, and current events with future representatives of the United States to Laos. |

In the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of U.S. Embassy Belmopan, we focus on furthering U.S. foreign policy through a variety of programs involving press, education, and culture. One of our main tasks is to deliver concise and accurate information to our readers at the Embassy as well as in Washington on the situation on the ground here in Belize as well as Belizean media's reaction to our foreign and domestic policies. The Embassy’s daily news summary is one of our special products--over 200 people at the Embassy and in Washington receive the digest every day and for many of our readers this is their only source of information on Belizean news. The interns would send their draft to PAS, who would, in turn disseminate the product to our audience.
The intern would also have an opportunity to help contribute to the U.S. Embassy’s lively social media presence. The U.S. Embassy Facebook page managed by the Public Affairs Section currently has around 42,000 followers, more than 10% the population of Belize! Maintaining the page’s high profile in Belize requires constant maintenance. Interns would have the opportunity to propose and create original content for the Facebook page as well as respond to the many inquiries we receive from followers, including from Belize’s large number of U.S. citizen visitors. In addition, interns will have an opportunity to contribute to the Embassy’s fledgling Twitter account, which was recently relaunched after a two-year hiatus and is an important platform for policy statements for the U.S. Embassy. The intern would also have an opportunity to perform an analysis on the viability of relaunching a U.S. Embassy Instagram before the completion of the internship.
Successful completion of the project would help reinvigorate our Twitter and Facebook accounts with interesting new content and meaningful public engagement, as well as help support and strengthen a substantive daily news summary product for U.S. Embassy and Washington readers. |

The U.S. Consulate in Vladivostok is seeking assistance in reporting on political, economic, cultural, and social developments in the Russian Far East - the largest consulate district in the world by landmass. Though the least densely populated area of Russia, the region is of enormous strategic and economic importance. Many of Russia's most important bilateral relationships are on display here, while the local politics reflect both general Russian trends as well as unique local twists. The Political-Economic Section of the Consulate is seeking interns to help catch news stories each day that could be of broader interest outside the region. The Consular District includes the 11 regions of the Far East Federal District, plus Irkutsk Oblast. |
VLADIVOSTOK |
Russia |
|
Ideally, the virtual intern(s) would send a report of relevant news headlines and stories in the Russian Far East 3-5 days per week, with the report arriving in Vladivostok by about 8:30am local time, which would be 6:30pm in Washington, DC (5:30pm Central Time, 4:30pm Mountain Time, 3:30pm Pacific Time). Priority days would be
Sunday-Thursday, but the schedule would be negotiable based on your availability. The Russian Far East has expanded to include 12 regions/districts: Primorye (where Vladivostok is located), Khabarovsk, Sakhalin, Yakutsk, Kamchatka, Magadan, Chukotka, Amur, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Irkutsk, Buryatia, and Transbaikal. In past years, interns have often divided responsibility geographically among themselves, rotating regions every couple of months.
The main outlets to monitor are the following:
Vladivostok: Primamedia - http://primamedia.ru/, Vl.ru - http://www.vl.ru/, Konkurent - http://konkurent.ru/, Zolotoy Rog - http://zrpress.ru/, Regional news portal - http://primorye.ru/; Sakhalin/Kuril: Sakh.com - http://sakh.com/, Sakhalinmedia- sakhalinmedia.ru/, ASTV - https://astv.ru/, Khabarovsk: Vostokmedia (both Primorye and Khabarovsk) - http://vostokmedia.com/, Amurmedia – http://amurmedia.ru/, DvHab –http://www.dvhab.ru/, DebriDV - http://debri-dv.com/, Yakutsk: Yakutiainfo – http://yakutia.info/, Ykt.ru - http://news.ykt.ru/, YSIA - http://ysia.ru/; Kamchatka: Kamchatinfo - http://kamchat.info/, Kam24 - https://www.kam24.ru/, VestiPK - http://www.vestipk.ru/; Amur, PortAmur - https://portamur.ru/, Amur.Info - http://www.amur.info/; Magadan: Kolyma - http://www.kolyma.ru/, Magadanmedia - http://magadanmedia.ru/; Chukotka: IA Chukotka - http://www.prochukotku.ru/, Anadyr - http://www.anadyr.org/; Jewish Autonomous Oblast: Gorod na Bire - http://www.gorodnabire.ru/, EAOmedia - http://eaomedia.ru/, Transbaikal - https://www.chita.ru/news/, https://zab.ru/news, https://ok.ru/chitaru, https://www.mkchita.ru/news/; Irkutsk: https://www.irk.ru/news/, https://irkutsk.news/, https://baikal.mk.ru/news/, https://irk.today/, Buryatia: https://www.infpol.ru/, https://gazetarb.ru/news/, https://arigus.tv/news/, https://bgtrk.ru/
Not all outlets would need to be monitored each day, but starting from the first outlet in each region, you would do the following: translate the news home page into English (right click and select 'translate page' in Google Chrome), scan for stories of broader interest based on the criteria below, copy headlines and URLs into a Word document, copy any key facts from the stories (time permitting), organize the headlines by general category, and then send the Word document to the following email addresses: NoyesFN@state.gov; ConcorsEE@state.gov; YeremeyevaAA@state.gov; and MotovilovDA@State.gov. In general, the topics of interest are the following:
1. North Koreans in the Russian Far East (RFE)
2. North Korean efforts to develop its nuclear weapons program and delivery systems
3. U.S.-Russian Relations in the RFE
4. The U.S. Consulate in Vladivostok
5. Sanctions on Russia and North Korea
6. Public Opinion Polling of residents in the RFE
7. Federal government efforts to develop the RFE
8. Public Protests and Activism in the RFE
9. Russian-Japanese relations in the RFE
10. Russian-Korean relations in the RFE
11. Russian-Chinese relations in the RFE
12. Russian Military Capability development in the RFE, including military exercises
13. Regional and Local Politics in the RFE
14. U.S. Business and Investment in the RFE
15. Economic Development Indicators in the RFE
16. Vostochniy Space Port activities
17. Corruption in the RFE
18. Notable events concerning Society and Culture in the RFE (e.g., surveys, demographic trends, notable cultural events, awards and achievements, indigenous affairs, religious groups, human rights, censorship)
19. Environmental Problems in the RFE (e.g., Pollution, deforestation, endangered species, efforts by the Russian government and NGOs to protect the environment and wildlife)
20. Health challenges in the RFE (e.g., HIV/AIDS, drug abuse, alcoholism, antibiotic misuse, drug-resistant illnesses) 21. Agriculture development in the RFE (e.g., new greenhouses and dairy farms, fisheries, railroads to carry
grain to ports, foreign investment in the agricultural sector)
22. Education sector development in the RFE, and what happens to graduates when they graduate from college
23. Science and technology developments in the RFE, including robotics and drones (especially underwater drones) |

We are looking for native Khmer speakers to converse with our Foreign Service Officers in an informal setting, by either phone or video chats. Conversations may start out very basic, on every day topics, and will become more sophisticated as the Diplomats advance in their training. By speaking Khmer with our Diplomats, you will have a unique opportunity to help them improve their language competence and to learn from them all about their careers, while you discuss Khmer culture, history, and current events with future representatives of the United States to Cambodia. |

The Department of State's air quality monitoring program places EPA reference grade monitors at U.S. embassies and consulates. To date, 40 embassies and consulates have air quality monitors which are often the only source of real-time, transparent, and reliable air quality data in the country. While Malaysia posts some air quality data regularly, they do not yet use EPA NowCast standards and do not have historical reference data available. Embassy Kuala Lumpur will soon host its own reference grade monitor and we will need help comparing its findings to those already reporting in Malaysia.
The two interns will track air quality readings from Malaysia Department of Environment’s air quality monitoring system and the Embassy’s own air quality monitor, to determine if there is a significant deviation between the two, as well as conduct a broader analysis of air quality trends within Malaysia. As the Department of Environment does not publicize a historic archive of air quality data, interns must conduct regular checks of data reported by the Malaysian government. Come be a part of Embassy Kuala Lumpur’s leap into making the world a greener place! |

U.S. Embassy Kuala Lumpur leads U.S. efforts on the ground to promote deeper economic ties between the United States and Malaysia. Malaysia is one of the most dynamic economies of the ASEAN region, regularly cited as a regional model of governance and sound economic policies. Though not yet a “fully developed” country by world Bank standards, Malaysia has developed strong economic ties with other countries and is a central node in the global supply chain for goods from airplanes to hospital equipment. Embassy Kuala Lumpur seeks three virtual student interns to assist with bilateral diplomatic initiatives and track key developments in Malaysia’s most important economic sectors as the country responds to the ongoing impact of COVID-19. The virtual interns will help to assess the economic impact of developments in country across a range of sectors. Interns will also track the macroeconomic effects of the government’s policy decisions that impact its relationship with China, a key player in Malaysia investment, as initiatives championed by the dynamic Malaysian government such as on tax, technology and environmental reforms, and may be able to contribute to embassy reporting. Interns will utilize all available media, including popular online newspapers, Malaysian government websites, private and public sector websites, journals, and other sources of relevant information.
Embassy Kuala Lumpur’s Economic team will develop specific objectives and timelines with the virtual student interns that support current reporting priorities. Interns will report to a specific officer but will coordinate with the Economic Counselor, Deputy, and Officer Manager. Be part of an exciting team in the heart of Southeast Asia! |

Interns will review social media as part of the reporting and alert the Hub to any large-scale conversations taking place on the continent about the US Government and Africa.
There are many Francophone and Lusophone countries in Africa so a proficiency in either French OR Portuguese is desired but not required for our interns. |

The U.S. Consulate in Vladivostok is seeking assistance with deep dive research on select political and economic issues in the Russian Far East. Consulate Vladivostok covers the largest consular district in the world by landmass, and while the Russian Far East is not densely populated, it is of enormous strategic and economic importance to Russia. The Political and Economic Section of the consulate is responsible for monitoring and reporting on nearly all developments in the region, but certain subjects require more in-depth study and the careful collection of data from a variety of sources. The Consulate is seeking interns to assist in this research, both collecting information online and packaging it in an easy-to-digest form.
The subject matter of the research will depend on current events and the reporting priorities of the consulate during the course of the internship. However, work might include learning as much as possible about a certain economic sector (e.g., gold mining in Magadan or tourism in Kamchatka), or collecting data about foreign direct investment in different regions, etc. As another example, if the internship were taking place at the time of writing (May 2020), the intern might be asked to collect information on regional government efforts' to support small and medium businesses in response to the COVID-19 economic shock.
The interns' work product will depend on the nature of the subject being researched. Interns may be asked to write a brief report summarizing their finding, but more often will be presenting their research in the form of hyperlinks with brief explanatory notes. For certain issues, particularly those with data from different regions, a spreadsheet or chart may be created, and in some cases the work product will simply be answers to specific questions.
There will also be an opportunity for the interns to assist in social media research, a relatively new but extremely important and exciting area of diplomatic reporting.
While not strictly required, Russian language skills would be extremely useful for this internship. Even moderate proficiency would allow the intern to do Russian-language google searches that might reveal information an English-only search would not. (Applicants with less Russian might prefer the Russian Far East News Monitor internship, which is more structured and does not require searches)

The Russian Far East covers the following 12 regions/districts: Primorye (where Vladivostok is located), Khabarovsk, Sakhalin, Yakutsk, Kamchatka, Magadan, Chukotka, Amur, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Irkutsk, Buryatia, and
Transbaikal.
Primary Point of Contact at the Consulate would be Political/Economic officer Fred Noyes, whose email is NoyesFN@state.gov. Interns might also communicate with Economic Assistant Nastya Yeremeyeva at YeremeyevaAA@state.gov.

The Department has developed a comprehensive video captioning program to provide captioning to all video
produced domestically and overseas. Captioning makes information and news accessible to individuals who are
deaf or hard of hearing, and enables non-native-English speakers to understand important information.
Primarily, the intern will create accurate video transcripts, varying in length from one to 60 minutes. Examples
of these videos might include:
1. A YouTube video of the Secretary speaking at an international conference,
2. A webinar on the use of social media in diplomacy, or
3. An informational video outlining consular services and procedures at an embassy.
Interns may also work on projects related to Video Captioning and Transcribing. This internship will provide
broad exposure to public diplomacy and foreign policy issues, as well as issues of interest to Civil Service
employees.
Other assignments may include:
1. Scanning YouTube, Facebook, and other platforms for uncaptioned videos hosted by embassies, consulates,
or other groups within the Department of State.
2. Research projects relating to audio description, technology in video captioning, etc.
3. Creating marketing products for Video Captioning team outreach.
4. Create and contribute to an internal newsletter/blog which will be housed on the internal Video Captioning
SharePoint site.
5. Participating in periodic conference calls with other interns and the Video Captioning team,
discussing projects and related issues.
6. Other assignments related to Section 508, audio description, and/or video captioning, as needed.
Guidelines will be provided, but successful interns will also need to have considerable flexibility, as it is
impossible to predict the actual work level on a weekly basis. The ability to work well both independently and
on a team is important.
At first, interns may find it takes a considerable amount of time to caption one video. Ultimately, interns will be
expected to meet a ratio of approximately 1:8 (1 hour of video: 8 hours of transcribing and captioning).
Assuming a time commitment of 10 hours per week, interns will, after time given to learn and improve the skills
necessary, be expected to transcribe and/or caption up to one hour of video per week.
The abilities to work independently and remain self-motivated are crucial to this project. The intern will be
working with other virtual interns; therefore, communication and flexibility are also highly important. Accurate
typing skills and attention to detail are important as well. |

If you want to get an idea of the kinds of videos you would be captioning, search YouTube or Facebook for any U.S. embassy and see what kinds of videos they have posted.
If you speak a foreign language, you may also have the opportunity to caption in that language. |

This project will be a little more complicated than the summary may suggest. We have approximately 20 staff members who place requests and will need to input their PRs into the database. The procurement office creates purchase orders, which may be local, or go through our acquisitions office in DC. The reconciliation process will rarely correlate directly from the request, the order, the requisition, or the items received. There needs to be a way to prompt staff members to track external entities such as procurement and acquisitions. I would like for the interface to be a Google site. |

As China's influence grows globally, the United States government has taken a keen interest in better understanding the nature and scope of China's ambitions. The U.S.-China bilateral relationship has been called the most consequential relationship in the world, but in many ways that relationship itself depends on the ways third countries perceive and interact with both countries. While Chinese topics such as the Belt and Road Initiative, South China Sea expansion, and the U.S.-China "trade war" have made headlines, far less understood are China's aspirations within the Balkans, despite the region's importance in many U.S. foreign relations priorities.
In this project, VSFS interns would provide vanguard research into how various Chinese actors are approaching relationships within North Macedonia. This includes not only the government (central, provincial, and municipal) but companies (public and private), institutions (cultural, academic, scientific, etc), and private citizens (such as tourists or exchange programs). Interns would work with the Skopje China Watcher and create a tracker of major engagements through time, in addition to drafting reports for use by policy makers.

The intern would be responsible for scanning the news every afternoon and selecting approximately 10 of the top articles on South and Central Asia from a range of sources and compiling them into an easily digestible format, to be sent out by 4:00 pm EST every work day. Our daily news clips are read by the top leadership and experts in the State Department and Ambassadors and staff at our Embassies around the world to help shape their understanding of breaking events and issues in the region.
The intern would also be responsible for tracking diplomatic and foreign correspondents' use of official State Department comments in their news coverage. Journalists frequently ask for a State Department spokesperson to comment on breaking news in the region, and understanding how the media frames official U.S. policy positions is critical to our understanding of the media narrative.
Periodically, interns would be called up to compile media reaction to a specific event or activity. Interns would also have the opportunity to analyze trends they are seeing and summarize their findings, which would be shared with policy makers in the Department.
Interns would be asked to track public statements from governments and leaders from South and Central Asia during media appearances, through press releases and spokespersons, and on social media, and compile in an easy-to-read format.
Finally, the intern would develop content for our social media platform by compiling an image database and drafting tweets for the Bureau's official Twitter account. |

The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor leads the State Department’s comprehensive strategy to promote and protect the rights of people with disabilities internationally. As part of our foreign policy the United States works to remove barriers to equal access and opportunities and create a world in which disabled people enjoy dignity and full inclusion. Discrimination against people with disabilities is not simply unjust – it hinders economic development, limits democracy, and erodes societies.
This project seeks to identify openings in the legal or policy framework to advocate for laws that prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the public. Selected interns will compare national disability rights laws to relevant U.S. laws and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to catalogue gaps and best practices for upholding the human rights, and fundamental freedoms of persons with disabilities. Each intern will be provided a region of the world to research each country’s national laws to determine whether laws adhere to the legal standards identified. Interns will also determine whether any regional or multilateral organizations have done similar legal research to avoid duplication. |

The Office of International Religious Freedom's Strategic Religious Engagement Unit provides analysis of religion’s role in foreign affairs and strives to educate American foreign policy actors on the importance of engaging international religious actors and communities in making foreign policy. VSFS interns will work directly with policy advisers on research projects examining the religious environment of a specific country(s) to helping prepare for a conference event to developing training materials. Analyses may take on a broad scope to look at cross-national issues as well as narrow in on issues in the corner of an individual country. A conference or training event could require research on invitees or creating curricula. The goal is to develop up-to-date resources for use by regional policy advisers as well as Department staff working across regions and on a broad swath of issues. The specific work activity will vary depending on staff needs. |

Interns may be working with several policy advisers to address their needs in preparing assessments of the

Consulate Medan is seeking a motivated, detail-oriented student of history to illuminate the story of the American presence on the island of Sumatra, the fourth-largest island in the world key to regional stability and America’s long-term interests in Southeast Asia. The history of the U.S. presence is a tale not yet told, and you can help change that.
The Virtual Student Foreign Service intern will help the U.S. Consulate for Sumatra, based in Medan - Indonesia’s third largest city - uncover the history of the America’s involvement in Sumatra, from the early 19th century until today. Americans have long come to Sumatra - first for economic interests, and now as part of our deepening and strategic partnership with the government and people of Indonesia, and we hope to use the information gathered by the intern to craft a narrative of America’s historic and depending commitment to the people and cultures of northwest Indonesia.
Consulate Medan staff will work closely with the intern to share the information we have already gathered, but we hope the intern will be self-starting and research-focused, able to contact scholars and research academic sources on their own, to produce the following products for the Consulate:
1. A written history of the American diplomatic presence in Sumatra that can be shared internally in the U.S. government and externally with U.S. government contacts.
2. A brief oral history of recent U.S. engagement in Sumatra since the founding of the Republic of Indonesia.
3. A social media campaign using photos, videos, and interviews, to highlight America’s long-term presence and commitment to Sumatra.
4. Other materials of interest to the intern that can help further their own academic efforts. |

The Office of Development Finance (ODF) in the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs is looking for a motivated and curious virtual intern with an interest in infrastructure and sustainable development, particularly in the context of understanding the difference between good and bad infrastructure and weighing the lifecycle costs of infrastructure.
As a member of the ODF team, you will conduct open source research analyzing the news and developments of sustainability, transparency, and quality in the sustainable infrastructure space. This research can take form of a single case study comparing good and bad infrastructure or a comparative analysis – either project would be well suited for a capstone project should you want to use this internship for that purpose.
This longer-term research project will inform the development of the Blue Dot Network (BDN) – a new international initiative led by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Development Finance Corporation. BDN will create a quality infrastructure certification mechanism that will promote quality infrastructure investment that is open and inclusive, transparent, economically viable, financially, environmentally and socially sustainable, and compliant with international standards, laws, and regulations. You can find more information about the BDN here: https://www.state.gov/blue-dot-network/ As part of the ongoing duties of this internship, you may be asked to complete ad hoc research assignments related to the BDN design and development.
In the course of this internship, you will learn about U.S. and international infrastructure development policies and multilateral finance institutions, develop strong writing skills by following the Department of State writing guidelines, and gain an understanding of the U.S. foreign economic policy making processes and considerations.
What else is in it for you in this position? Our mentorship, flexible workload, and opportunity to expand your professional network and learn more about what working for the U.S. Department of State and with international partners looks like.
The main skills and knowledge that we are looking for are intellectual curiosity, ability to write clearly and concisely, attention to detail, some research experience, and a basic knowledge of global economic and development trends.
About our office: the Office of Development Finance (ODF) fosters economic development around the world and promotes the prosperity of the United States by developing new markets overseas, supporting export opportunities, and strengthening U.S. international economic ties.

Niger is the poorest and least developed country on earth, yet in the volatile Sahel it is the most politically stable country and is the most capable of protecting itself. The USG has been rapidly increasing its security, development and humanitarian relief programs to assist Niger better protect itself from violent extremist organizations as well as build the foundation for more equitable, appropriate, and wide-spread economic and social development. USAID will open a Mission in 2020 to oversee its >$300million in development and relief programs while the Millennium Challenge Corporation is seeking to expand its $435million program. Multiple additional smaller Department of State and Department of Defense programs supporting anti-Trafficking in Persons, refugee assistance, Rule of Law, democratization, human rights and other activities complement the Embassy's assistance portfolio. The rapid growth of our development and assistance programs has, however, limited our ability to accurately catalogue, map, and detail the various development and relief projects making it increasingly difficult to ensure programs are linked geographically and thematically, and that programs are building on each other's lesson learned. The mapping and inventory exercise will permit the Ambassador and other decision-makers to better manage existing programs as well as make decisions on proposed programs. The development database will also include critical information ensuring that implementers are meeting key USG regulations (Terrorist Financing Determinations, Leahy Vetting, etc). |

The end product is envisioned to be a catalogue and map of all current USG-funded programs in Niger. It would be useful for the map to be interactive and allow for quickly accessing relevant funder and implementer information by funding type, type of effort, location of project impact, and other criteria to be agreed upon. The catalogue and map will be used by the Ambassador and other decision makers to identify programming gaps, make decisions if new programs are warranted, ensure that USG regulations are being respected , and that taxpayer resources are being used effectively. |

The National Museum of American Diplomacy will be the first museum in the nation dedicated to telling the story of diplomacy and of the diplomats who have served and sacrificed for their country since the founding of our nation. Our mission is to educate and inspire all visitors through engaging programs and exhibits that showcase how diplomacy has shaped our nation’s history and how diplomacy continues to play a vital role in their lives. Our first major exhibit, developed in partnership with Smithsonian Exhibits, covers sixteen stories, spanning from the alliance with France which contributed to the success of the American revolution, to pivotal moments in history such as the Iran hostage crisis, to the far-reaching work of diplomats in the field today.
Intern(s) will create designs for the opening of this exhibit for visitors, donors, and internal stakeholders, as well as for the museum’s other programs. Interns may also produce material for guest exhibits displayed in the pavilion prior to installation of the Smithsonian exhibit. Interns will also develop and design digital communication, including content for email, website, and social media. Previous interns in this position have created donor material praised and distributed by Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State. |

The Diplomat in Residence for the South recruits students and professionals, throughout Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee, who want to be at the forefront of U.S. diplomacy over the next twenty years. The intern’s role in this effort includes:
Data gathering – Much like a Public Diplomacy Officer, the ideal candidate will gather data from open-source research, existing information, or even networking with their classmates.
Data analysis – Economics Officers pour though their data and convert it into information that the policymakers require. Similarly, the ideal intern will present information, not just a link, to the DIR South, so decisions can be made and actions executed in real-time.
Written presentation – The intern will take ownership for creating PowerPoint presentations, flyers for events, drafting or editing scripts for social media deliveries, and turning concepts into completed actions.
Visual Delivery – Once all the other work is done it will be time for the intern to help the DIR South deliver live virtual presentations, educate candidates through social media, and identify and follow-up with both students and professionals who want to become part of the Foreign Service.
What skills are needed? - Strong social media skills, adept with virtual communication apps, the ability to communicate clearly in both written and verbal communication, qualitative enough to gather data and summarize it, and the commitment to meeting deadlines.

As an intern, you will assist in designing a youth engagement action plan to enhance collaboration between the State Department and U.S. Arctic communities in Alaska, and to identify opportunities for amplifying youth engagement at the State Department and in the Arctic Council. This youth action plan will also include steps to engage with audiences in the American Arctic on issues ranging from sustainable development to environmental protection to Arctic governance as we conduct public outreach to explain the value of U.S. diplomacy at home and abroad. Efforts could entail researching and introducing proposals for ways in which youth voices are incorporated into policy-making in a meaningful and sustainable way.
Interns will be encouraged, as a part of the youth action plan design, to collaborate virtually with others from across the Arctic region on proposals for communicating youth contributions to or through the State Department and Arctic Council, whether through social media, dedicated websites, or other means. Interns may also develop social media content of regional relevance and interest on topics relevant to the Arctic governments and indigenous peoples. Your work will bolster OPA’s digital storytelling capabilities by creating engaging, creative materials for social media and digital communications. You will perform research to identify best practices, future partners, and opportunities for engagement for Arctic-focused outreach programs. When feasible, interns will also observe and participate in local events on relevant Arctic matters.
If you are interested in the intersection between the Arctic, diplomacy, and youth engagement, this is a perfect internship for you! |

NGO Global Witness and its partners documented in July 2019 the killing of more than 164 environmental and land defenders in 2018 – an average of more than three people each week – and 207 killings in 2017, the highest year reported. Many deaths go unreported; many more environmental defenders face abduction, assault, spurious lawsuits, and other threats. NGO Front Line Defenders reported in January 2020 that 40% of the 304 human rights defenders killed in 2019 were defending land, environmental, or indigenous peoples’ rights, often in the context of extractive industries and state-aligned megaprojects. Although this was a decrease from 77% of the HRDs killed in 2018, Front Line Defenders reported environmental, land, and indigenous defense remains the most dangerous sector of human rights defense
In numerous international fora, this issue is emerging as a critical problem largely unaddressed by governments. The violence is damaging U.S. foreign policy interests relating to the environment, democracy and governance, commerce, energy, and law enforcement. To reduce this violence, OES needs virtual interns to assist a senior advisor for environment as she develops a proposed approach for the Department, coordinates with other U.S. agencies, and ideally positions our strategy to inform a global response. Given the rigorous nature of the research to be presented to embassies and an interagency working group, we are seeking interns who can devote on average a minimum of 20 hours a week to this internship.

The United States-Russia bilateral relationship is one of the most meaningful for securing peace and prosperity throughout the world. Russia is more active in a wider range of global issues than it has been since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The selected research assistant will make a vital contribution to better understanding Russian interests, goals, and activities by working closely with Embassy Moscow’s political section to identify, collect, format, analyze, and visualize data that captures these aspects of Russian foreign policy.
Collaborating with a political officer stationed in Moscow, the research assistant will be responsible for populating a reference library that captures a wide variety of aspects of Russia’s engagement with third countries. The research assistant and political officer will work together to identify additional sources of information, standardize them, and include them in the database. The resulting database should be able to provide a snapshot of Russian engagement with a given country, to include visa regimes, trade and investment figures, arms exports, student exchange agreements, and other relevant indicators. The research assistant will be expected to help identify additional sources of data and should be prepared to produce analytical reports reporting on conclusions derived from the database.

The Virtual Intern develops U.S. culture lesson plans and delivers them by video conference to Russian students in U.S. Embassy Moscow-supported programs. The Intern is expected to interact for 60-90 minutes with approximately 14-20 students. The goal is for the students to have a chance to speak English with a U.S. citizen.
Interns will work with the teacher to determine appropriate topics for discussion, based on the material the students are working with at the time of the virtual meetings. Topics could include popular culture or education. A usual lesson would see the intern present on a topic of U.S. culture (language, national parks, geographical aspects of culture, food, music, holidays, high school life, etc) for about 10-15 minutes, including photographs. Then the intern would ask questions about the presentation and afterwards ask questions for the students to answer about their own culture. The intern is asked to create these lessons.
The difference in time zones may require early morning or late night sessions and the video conferencing program will be provided by the teacher, though the intern can suggest a program also. |

The English learners for this internship include students from the following two U.S. Embassy Moscow programs: The English Access Microscholarship program (https://exchanges.state.gov/non-us/program/english-access-microscholarship-program) provides young disadvantaged but motivated students aged 13-16 with English language, U.S. culture, and leadership skills throughout the 2-year program; the Advance through Vocational English program is for underemployed 21-35 year olds and provides English, entrepreneurship, and management skills over 9 months.
The Virtual Intern will create lessons so that the Access/Advance students can converse in English and learn about
U.S. culture while sharing information about Russian culture to the Virtual Intern. The purpose of the lessons is
to increase English fluency and knowledge about the United States. Topics can be chosen by the Virtual Intern
or by the collaboration among the Virtual Intern, the Access/Advance teachers, and the students. Possible topics
include traditions, food, hobbies, U.S. sports, holidays, famous people, and other interesting topics.
The Virtual Intern can play games, give information, and have a discussion based on that information, role play,
have a Q&A session, or teach the students something. It is recommended to plan different activities each lesson.
The Virtual Intern can use materials from many sources to create these lessons, including

Some foreign countries have been aggressively expanding their influence in Belgium. We are seeking a virtual intern to use open-source media (news publications, social media sources) to track the interactions between the Belgian government, universities, and the private sector with representatives of foreign governments. You will track meetings; cultural exchanges; business collaborations; funding support mechanisms, grants, or partnerships; and construction or start-up projects in Belgium undertaken by specific foreign countries. Your compilation will lend itself to analysis for any signs of predatory economic practices or utilizing state assets to build an economic footprint in Belgium. You will look for trends in the types of investments or cooperative agreements utilized; the themes of advertising or social media campaigns mounted in Belgium; and the Belgian response to these engagements. The outcome of this virtual internship will be reporting, including graphs and charts if useful. French and/or Dutch language skills helpful. Skill with spreadsheets (Excel) and or database programs to collect and analyze data required. |

We desire a social media-savvy volunteer to track the activities of left- and right-wing Belgian political parties on social media. As the adage says, the pen is mightier than the sword. If we want to get ahead of divisive and even racist sentiments spreading on social media, we need to understand what they are, who is authoring them, and who is listening. What are extreme politicians saying to their constituents online? What ads are they placing? How much are these messages being forwarded or amplified? Are there specific themes in what they are saying? How do their tactics compare to their rivals? How much are they spending? Deft oversight of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram (and any other current social media platforms we are not cool enough to know about) will help us better understand the tactics and intentions of this growing segment of the Belgian political scene. The outcome will be monthly reports and, if you like making them, fancy charts. Dutch language skills preferred. French might also be helpful. Skill with spreadsheets (Excel) and or database programs to collect and analyze data required. |

Belgium is very active -- both as a sovereign and as an EU member state -- in humanitarian and development assistance efforts that shape the outcomes in countries in Africa, Eastern Europe , and Asia and through our international alliances. We need a determined researcher who can search online AND talk to experts to dig up the numbers and create a clear picture of where Belgium has been spending its foreign assistance money over the last few years and how this is changing. Your sources are likely to be open-source Belgian government platforms and media reports, and we will connect you with contacts in both to solicit hard numbers. Your research will lead to a report documenting where Belgium's foreign assistance is going, and maybe some fancy charts and graphs to show how that money is allocated between different security, humanitarian, and development goals, specific recipient countries, or changing over time. French and Dutch language skills might be useful but they are not required: much of what the Belgian government publishes is available in English. You must be skilled with spreadsheets (Excel) and or database programs to collect and analyze data. |

Belgium has two main linguistic regions, Wallonia and Flanders, each with its own government structure and investment bodies. These regional governments control a network of enterprises either through ownership stakes or investment mechanisms. We would like to better understand these networks, and we need the help of a determined researcher with some French language skills (and maybe Dutch, too). The outcome of your research will be lists of affected enterprises (along with key contacts within each) and explanations of the extent to which the enterprises are under state control. Using visualization software, map these enterprises by industry and show percentages owned by regional or even municipal governments. Identify trends and opportunities for engagement by analyzing your findings.

The analysis will include, but not be limited to, the following key performance indicators (KPIs): engagement, reach, amplification rate, and applause rate (likes/followers), as well as an audience analysis for each platform.
Second, after the completion of the 2019 analysis, the virtual intern will provide regular, end of month social media reports to include such information as most/least impactful post across each platform, a KPI analysis for the month, and recommendations on how to improve future social media content.
Third, the virtual intern will provide periodic social media training/advice to PAS employees and will contribute to the creation of social media content. A specific training plan will be developed between PAS and the virtual intern.
At the end of the virtual internship, the U.S. Embassy Bern Public Affairs Section will better understand its social media audience(s) and be better prepared to leverage social media in the furtherance of Embassy and Department goals.
The applicant must possess basic professional German reading ability. We look for a social media savvy individual who has experience managing social media platforms or extensive knowledge of digital trends, tools, and analytics. Knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Word is a must. Experience with social media campaigning and advertising is a plus.

The intern will have two main tasks:
1) Prepare material and facilitate sessions for intermediate to advanced ESL students in a variety of topics. Some possible examples include: job seeking skills, aspects of American culture, American holidays, aspects of U.S. history, research games, developing sketches, health information, etc.
2) Assist with monitoring and managing the U.S. Embassy English Club WhatsApp groups by posting and sharing with students any useful materials related to English Language learning and understanding the American culture.
3) (optional) If possible, the Intern will develop 3-4 short Facebook campaigns on issues similar to the ones in task #1, e.g.; Islam in America; daily life of a student at U.S. university; and job hunting skills. The campaigns could be video-based and/or static. Each campaign should be in English only.

American Corner Session Facilitation Assistance
The American Corner ISERI (High Institute for Research and Islamic Studies) is a U.S. Embassy-equipped space in Nouakchott Islamic research center that serves as a resource center for information and programs highlighting American culture, history, current events, and government.
American Corner ISERI, like most U.S. American Spaces around the world, typically host discussion groups, seminars, digital video conferencing (DVCs), poster exhibits, and meetings with U.S. and local specialists on a wide range of American-focused topics for a young audience aged 18 to 35.
Partnership between the American Embassy and ISERI started in 2004. More than 30 students and several community members visit the corner every day (Monday to Thursday) to use resources (computers, books) or attend a session. A Mauritanian American Spaces Manager working at the U.S. Embassy is responsible for overseeing activities at the ISERI American Corner. That same American Spaces Manager will be the Intern’s principle point of contact in Mauritania throughout the internship.
The intern will be expected to facilitate four 90-minute sessions a month (live or recorded via Zoom or Skype) or prepare the session materials and share them with the American Spaces Manager who will facilitate them in-person. The Intern will prepare a one- to two- page monthly report of his/her activities. The Intern and the American Spaces Manager will communicate via mail, Skype or phone on a regular basis to update each other.
Helping manage WhatsApp Groups:
In order to keep in touch with our audience, the U.S. Embassy to Mauritania’s American Spaces Manager created five different WhatsApp groups which share either level or interests, or both. There are 200 to 256 people in each WhatsApp group. In addition to serving as a communication tool, the groups are also used as open platforms for the sharing of English learning material (videos, riddles, short texts, Ted Talks, links to useful articles, etc.). The groups are extremely useful but need constant monitoring in terms of content. The American Spaces Manager is responsible for their overall management and ensuring the posts are consistent with the Embassy’s goals. He regularly adds new people on request and delete some for not complying with our rules (for example, all posts should be in English language, non-political and non-derogatory against any person or group of people). The Intern will be expected to help monitor the groups whenever possible, at his or her convenience, and post information they find useful for the participants.
Optional task: Facebook campaigns
U.S. Embassy Nouakchott social media campaigns have been very limited due to staff time and capacity. We would like to inject more American elements into our Facebook page, but on themes with which our Mauritanian readership can identify. A campaign by the intern on Islam in America, for example, would be popular. Other themes we are seeking to incorporate and promote in our Facebook feed include: job hunting skills; how to obtain a scholarship in with an American University; how to identify American universities with low tuition fees; security (everything from countering violent extremism, to women’s self defense); Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) skills for youth; freedom of expression (especially in the arts) and association; youth entrepreneurship; social cohesion and decreasing discrimination based on gender, race, ethnicity, language, religion or tribe, among others; and English language learning.
