English conversation circles are especially popular with Egyptian students. Students come to the American Center (AC) where AC staff form groups based on self-identified language ability (beginner, intermediate, advanced). Participants are striving to practice their English, gain vocabulary, improve their grammar and learn about America. A topic which relates to an American theme or policy issue is identified in advance to stimulate discussion. Circles are facilitated by an American officer or family member. Each circle is composed of 10-12 students aged 20 to 30. Most are university students with some recent graduates.
Intern will draft new topical ideas of interest to American youth that Egyptians will also find engaging. With guidance from the post, topics for the coming year will be selected based on monthly themes and mission goals. Intern will create targeted vocabulary lists based on the topic, draft worksheets for student review, and develop key questions that spur conversation. Other creative solutions such as identifying 2-5 minute videos that lay a baseline for discussion are welcome. Intern will also conduct a virtual conversation circle at least once a month. Our conversation club meets on Wednesdays at 3 p.m. (9 a.m. EST) but this can be negotiable dependent on intern's availability.
Knowledge and Skills you need:
• Good English language skills, specifically grammar and vocabulary
• Ability to research topics for relevant material whether text or audio/video
• Assess resources for appropriateness and reading level
• Ability to develop worksheets and vocabulary lists
• Ability to promote conversation and develop rapport with Egyptian youth
• Ability to use Skype, Zoom, Google Hangout, or other similar platform to conduct virtual conversation session.

The Bureau of South and Central Asia (SCA) Press Office seeks 3-4 VSFSers/eInterns to assist U.S. Embassies in their digital outreach to South Asian high school and university students. The SCA eInterns will collaborate with the Press Office and its Digital team to implement an innovative digital outreach plan that targets two critical audiences: 1) South Asian students currently studying in the United States, and 2) prospective South Asian students seeking to study abroad.
The eInterns will plan, film, and edit a series of short social media videos to promote U.S. higher education for South Asian high school and university students for use on U.S. Embassies’ social media platforms.

The VSFSers will be responsible for identifying and recruiting fellow students to appear in these videos, and for the creative content within the videos. The SCA Press office will provide coordination and guidance for the eInterns.
Through the use of social media platforms such as Adobe Connect, Zoom, Facebook, and Twitter, the eInterns will host discussions and information sessions with prospective students interested in studying in the U.S., as well as help promote virtual college fairs and opportunities for these students to connect digitally with U.S. university representatives. The eInterns will also assist these students in connecting with prospective students in South Asia for webchats and webinars to help explain study in the USA. These students will leverage the tools and resources offered by the Department’s EducationUSA network.
This eIntern project is designed for students who know how to leverage social media platforms as community organization and discussion tools, are connected with the international student community at their university campus, and are comfortable with graphic design and compiling and editing short videos with subtitles. Students with concentrations in journalism, marketing, mass communication, video production and editing would make excellent candidates.

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.

In July 2017, Singapore’s Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan laid out the following five core principles of Singapore's foreign policy: First, Singapore needs to be a successful and vibrant economy. Second, Singapore must not become a vassal state – it must be prepared to defend its territory, its assets and its way of life. Third, Singapore aims to be a friend to all, but an enemy of none. Fourth, Singapore must promote a global world order governed by the rule of law and international norms. Fifth, Singapore must be a credible and consistent partner.

Furthermore, on May 7, 2018, Singapore President Halimah Yacob outlined five priorities for the Singaporean government for the remaining two-and-a-half years of Prime Minister Lee Hsein Loong’s term. The priorities are: 1) securing a place in the world for Singapore; 2) building a world-class city; 3) developing a vibrant economy; 4) forging a caring and inclusive society; and 5) nurturing a distinct Singapore identity.

China has been expanding its Belt and Road Initiative since 2013 with the intent to enhance economic development and inter-regional connectivity. The Belt and Road Initiative has a heavy focus on funding infrastructure development projects in other developing countries. Given that such Chinese development projects do not necessarily follow the environmental and social safeguards required by multilateral development banks, the environmental and social impact of such projects is currently known only anecdotally or entirely unknown.
This project will help research and analyze environmental impacts of development projects in countries involved with the Belt and Road Initiative. Data collected on development projects will help inform best practices, and provide lessons learned that can be applied to ongoing and future development projects. The intern will help create a database of international development projects in Belt and Road countries, draft policy papers in areas of interest, facilitate cooperation with multilateral institutions, create country-specific fact sheets, and complete other written research documents.

This database keeps track of sick leave days taken by LE Staff which is important since the pay level during sick leave is determined by local labor law so its regulations are programmed into the database. We enter each day an employee is on sick leave into the database. The database is programmed to know how many fully paid/half paid sick leave days a person has available in a certain time frame, depending on the number of years of employment, and tells me at what point the salary should be reduced to half pay or to zero pay. Also, the database automatically adds new employees into the correct section or moves employees who left employment into the ‘former employees’ column.
This project will require a basic to intermediate level of Microsoft Access and Microsoft Server proficiency. In essence, each voucher will have a large amount of information associated with it, but the information will be managed through the separate queries that are generated by the user.

It's a great record keeper, but we can't get the reporting as slick and useful (shareable) as we want. We can't use this data to make important decisions, other than basic spreadsheets.
That is where you come in. We would like to create geographic maps and data driven charts and diagrams of our business by geographic location, by language, by product category, by quantity, by dollars spent, by shipping mode. We would like to see what's in decline, what's growing, what geographic regions are most reliant on us. We need a data scientist and/or designer to help us format this data into intuitive, dynamic visual charts, graphics and maps.
We have only a modicum of experience in GIS applications or free platforms like Carto and Datawrapper, but are willing to sponsor a commercial product to reach our desired objectives. Our in-house technicians can help you access the data which is 100% unclassified, so you can work remotely.

Since English is not the native language for Angolans, the intern would support aspiring students with proofreading essays and interview prep. The intern will also support potential applicants with tips on academic writing. The intern would be encouraged to discuss the challenges that international students face on U.S. campuses and the ways that people have overcome them. Video tours of campus or snippets about extra-curricular activities would also be welcomed. The intern will be given the resources to ensure that anyone taped gives proper consent. S/he will also support EducationUSA in Luanda by responding to questions on Facebook pertaining to education in the United States.

America House Kyiv is looking for 3 interns to work on an exciting online media project – the America House blog. The blog was launched in November 2017 and has around 2000 views per month.
This blog is a mixture of language learning articles/exercises/quizzes/vocabulary lists, professional growth tips and entertainment content.
Articles are divided into 6 categories: Culture, Growth, Tech, English, Travel, and Education. You can check it out here: http://www.americahousekyiv.org/blog/
Topics that have been covered in the past are: Language learning tips, Entrepreneurship, Technology, Art, Culture, Journalism, History, Politics, Travel, Education, Innovation, Skill-building, etc.
The initiative is inspired by digital platforms such as Mashable, Entreprenuer, Lifehack, Bored Panda, and Voice of America that create short and engaging articles accessible for non-native speakers of English.
Some of the content of our blog will be based on lectures, workshops, and other events held at America House Kyiv. Videos, photos, recordings, and summaries of these events will be provided to the intern to use as a basis for blog entries.
The intern will cooperate closely with the America House communications team in Kyiv via e-mail and conference call.
Each intern will commit to creating 1-2 blog entries per week.
This is a brilliant opportunity for students interested in the topics mentioned above to test and apply their skills in producing engaging materials, sharing the very best of the U.S., and fostering understanding between the U.S. and Ukraine. It is also a fantastic opportunity to gain hands on experience with U.S. public diplomacy and outreach efforts in Ukraine.

Play a catalytic role in discovering the raw material for our bicentennial campaign, #Insieme200 or #Together200. Since 1819, U.S. Consuls have protected Americans and their interests in Florence, Italy. We seek top notch researchers who can dig through archives, scour the internet, knock the dust off books, and creatively package the top stories of the past two centuries.
We seek research experience, a record of creativity when presenting history, and Italian skills. We are especially interested in interns who can go through archives in Washington, D.C., but we are open to student researchers in Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna as well. The Consulate held the "soft launch" of the Bicentennial Campaign on May 3, 2018. This project will span the rest of the "soft phase" from Fall 2018 until the 200th anniversary itself in May 2019.
Candidates who are able to incorporate a formal academic element such as an independent study or thesis will receive particular consideration.

Last year Passport Services issued over 20 million passports to the public and we have recognized the need for Spanish language information.
We would like to update two existing "how-to" videos in order to assist Spanish speakers with filling out two of our most-used applications which are:
- DS-11 "Application for a United States Passport"
- DS-3053 "Statement of Consent for Issuance of a Passport to a Minor Age 16"
The videos will be housed on our website Travel.State.Gov and on the Department of State YouTube channel which will guarantee lots of visibility of the videos to the public.

Please see the two current videos that will be replaced by your VSFS videos. We are open to new ideas for video production, so please use these videos as reference to the content/focus of the two applications.

The goal of the Public Affairs Section is to increase diversity and participation in study in the United States so more students have an opportunity to develop the linguistic and cultural skills needed to engage in new job opportunities and economic competitiveness. We do this by managing our own scholarship programs, building capacity for study at U.S., 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 UGRAD and SUSI Programs, the Fulbright 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.
We are looking for someone with the analytic, design, and creative skills needed to transform data into compelling visuals and digital stories.

Research
Virtual Student Foreign Service volunteers will co-coordinate the U.S. – Japan POW Friendship Program. Since 2010, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sponsored groups of former Prisoners of War (POWs) and their caretakers to travel to Japan as a gesture of healing and reconciliation. Under the program, the group meets with Japanese government officials and citizen groups and visits WWII memorial sites. Many of the POWs have the opportunity to visit their former prison and labor camps.
United States
Additional Information
Co-Coordinators of the U.S. – Japan POW Friendship Program would be expected to:
1) Collaborate with NGOs, veteran organizations, and others as needed to identify eligible candidates and extend invitations to potential program participants.
2) Explain all aspects of the POW Reconciliation Program, including:
a. History of the U.S. – Japan POW Reconciliation Program
b. Notable government stakeholders involved in the program
c. Success of past POW Reconciliation Programs
d. Potential benefits involved in participating in the program
3) Guide program participants through the application process, including:
a. Interviewing participants about their experiences as POWs in Japan, including preparing bios for each participant.
b. Collecting logistical information from POW participants such as wheelchair and health needs, addresses, departure cities, and helping them to identify an appropriate person to travel with them as caregiver.
c. Communicating program logistics to participants.
4) Respond to queries from POWs regarding travel concerns, length of the program, program activities, the process of applying for passports, logistics, etc.
5) Act as a liaison between the program participants, the Department of State’s Office of Japanese Affairs, and the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ensure that all parties involved are kept up to date with the latest information regarding:
a. Program developments
b. Concerns regarding the candidate’s health, interests, free-time, travel ability etc.
6) Partner with the other eintern(s), the State Department coordinator, and the NGO coordinator complete the work efficiently.
7) Commit to support the U.S. – Japan POW Friendship Program from mid-May through the end of November, 2019.
a. Co-coordinators will commit to approximately 10 hours of work per week from mid-May through the end of November.
b. Work hours can fluctuate depending on progress made as the trip approaches. Trips are generally held in October, but this varies year to year. There will be some wrap-up work to do after participants return, but the busiest period is June through October.
The Office of Japanese Affairs will be available at all times to provide technical and logistical support to the VSFS co-coordinators. Questions regarding logistical or technical support can be directed to the Japan Desk point-of-contact for the POW Friendship Program.

The U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macau actively follows and promotes human rights in Hong Kong, Macau, and Mainland China. Every fall the consulate writes public human rights reports for Hong Kong and Macau. Every spring it writes public reports about human trafficking in Hong Kong and Macau. Throughout the year, the consulate writes non-public reports about human rights and human trafficking to keep Washington decision makers informed about important developments in these areas.
The consulate is seeking a virtual student intern to help conduct internet research on human rights and human trafficking issues. That research will feed into the consulate's public and non-public reports on the issue, freeing up political officers at post to conduct more face-to-face meetings on those topics. The research will be keyed to the sections of the human rights and trafficking in persons reports. Other research will be ad hoc projects related to current human rights topics. The intern will work with the consulate's human rights officer to narrow the scope of research and present the research in a usable format.
The intern may also be asked to help conduct research for public speeches about human trafficking and draft those speeches about human trafficking.

The 20 year conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has claimed millions of lives and has been a source of frustration for governments striving to provide peace and stabilization. The conflict involves a range of local militias; Congolese, Rwandan rebels, and the Congolese army, all of which control a majority of the country’s rich mineral deposits and utilize them as a source of financing. Within eastern DRC 50% of the mines are controlled by armed groups who demand payments for the extraction of minerals.
In 2010 Congress enacted the Dodd Frank Act Section 1502 which sought to address the exploitation and trade of the 3 T’s (tin, tungsten, and tantalum) and gold by armed groups in the DRC.
This project aims at finding qualitative and quantitative data that depict the positive effects of Dodd Frank Act Section 1502 on the DRC and adjoining countries.

The 42 Diplomatic Reception Rooms, located on the top two floors of the U.S. Department of State, are the site for many of our nation’s diplomatic meetings and events including international summits, treaty negotiations, official U.S. State Luncheons, and important presidential speeches. The rooms house a historic museum-quality collection of more than 5,000 fine and decorative art objects valued at more than $150 million that tell the story of our country’s founding and formative years. The fine and decorative arts collection is comprised of paintings, sculptures, prints and manuscripts, furniture, silver, glass, textiles, export porcelain and earthenware from 1730 - 1860. A significant portion of the collection relates to important moments in our country’s history and represents excellent examples of fine and decorative art from important artists and craftsmen. Some of the pieces in the collection include portraits of Founding Fathers by Gilbert Stuart, landscape portraits by Thomas Moran, porcelain owned by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other signers of the Declaration of Independence, and the desk upon which the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783. These historic objects and artwork tell the story of our country’s history and cultural heritage, and illustrate the importance of diplomacy and civic engagement.

Young Burundians love twitter. We do, too, but politics all the time makes for a pretty dull feed. So we're looking for a great communicator and social media lover to help us build a twitter calendar -- a bank of social media content designed around quirky, funny, or downright bizarre U.S. holidays, culture, and trivia -- that we can use year-round to break up some of the heavier stuff and help teach our social media audiences more about America. We'd like you to comb through a list of off-beat U.S. holidays (National Donut Day would be an excellent place to start...) and single out the events you think would resonate the most with young Africans. Don't worry if you don't know right off the bat what kind of events those are -- we'll help you out, of course! We'd then like you to draft some funny tweets and other social media content we can use on our feeds to spread the word. Or to spread the GIFs. Your choice. Our Public Affairs section will help you shape the content and make it work for our local audience, but we’ll rely on you to make sure it’s young and hip (as we are, sadly, neither).

ERA will be globally deployed by Spring 2019. It is a step-by-step vacancy builder that allows Human Resources (HR) at the 170+ Embassies/Consulates/Missions overseas to create and post vacancy announcements electronically, and allows for the efficient and effective review of applicant information to easily create short-lists and expedite the recruitment process. This is the first time a global electronic recruitment system has been deployed for overseas recruitment and is the most significant change in recruitment in decades.
HR/OE has created a series of Job Aids, powerpoints, charts, word documents, notice boards, pdfs, and other promotional materials and this information is currently on an internal Sharepoint site https://intranet.hr.state.sbu/RecruitmentStaffingEmployment/OverseasEmployment/Employment/Pages/ERA.aspx .
To capitalize on this new innovation in recruitment, ERA needs a more modern, user friendly site. The traffic to the site would be mostly HR specialists and HROs from the Embassies/Consulate and Missions overseas. The material from the WordPress site would also be available for download and use on the hundreds of overseas Mission’s internet and intranet sites.
The project would involve creating the look and feel for the WordPress site, in coordination with the ERA Team, creating multiple pages and transferring the documents. The content is clearly organized on the current Sharepoint site but an eye for detail and organization to benefit users is appreciated. In addition, creating an easy to follow one-page primer to assist with the maintenance of the WordPress site would also be required for the project.

The social media e-interns are at the center of U.S. Consulate General Florence's online engagement and previous e-interns have fundamentally changed our look, voice, and approach to social media. You will draft content on a regular basis, pitch and plan specific online campaigns, and learn how to write analytical reports in a State Department style. Graphic design interest and skills are a must as is a desire to follow Italian media. We love adopting e-intern ideas like a study abroad photo contest, meme campaigns, and advice videos.
Your perspective matters to us. Previous e-interns have been current study abroad students (undergraduate and graduate). Italy is the most popular non-English language destination country for study abroad students in the world and we want perspectives that resonate. Understanding our distinct local audience in the bel paese and being able to read Italian are essential.
In bocca al lupo!

Be on the cutting edge of implementing new technology in Africa’s 3rd largest economy! Social media is rapidly growing in popularity in Angola. However, few users know how to differentiate between real and fake information, and many social activists lack social media literacy. Many political groups use social media to spread fake news and encourage protest. Help us improve the social media environment in Angola.
This project will develop and run a 5-workshop virtual series that teaches the following:
- How to evaluate sources and differentiate between real and fake information on social media.
- Present best practices in social media engagement for civil society & NGOs.
- How to use social media for positive social change, such as promoting tolerance and ethnic unity.
The intern will design and implement the entire project, working in conjunction with an Angola colleague at the U.S. Embassy in Luanda. The intern may teach workshops, and should also recruit guest teachers. When not working on the virtual series, the intern can work remotely to communicate with class participants using FB and Whatsapp. As needed, the intern will be requested to generate social media content for the PAS Luanda section.

The intern will have wide latitude to develop the program, and should be creative, organized, a strong communicator, and capable of operating with limited supervision or guidance. The intern should have good cultural diplomacy skills, strong social media management, and good communication skills. Post prefers a college sophomore or junior.

We want to give an American perspective to our online content. We want to show how students in America goes about their daily routine and how American society welcomes people from other countries. You as a virtual intern will support our public diplomacy through research and finding stories that Pakistani online users would relate to, such as stories related to Muslim students on your college campus, Pakistani-Americans that you have come across, Pakistani-American success stories, and U.S. education in general.
We are looking for someone with a keen interest in journalism, online activism, blogging, photography, videography, and social media outreach. You will be asked to find stories related to the mentioned themes, capture good-quality photographs, conduct interviews, cover campus events, campus tours, research opportunities for international students, and stories about Muslim and Pakistani students.
Also, a major part of your internship will be interacting with Pakistani students. We would arrange English-language Skype virtual chats with Pakistani schools and colleges on soft topics where you will interact with students, present on a certain topic, and answer questions. Such events would provide an opportunity to hone your public speaking skills in front of a young and engaging audience. (See additional info for full project detail)
Pakistan
U.S. Consulate General Peshawar is looking for a Virtual Intern focused on research for public diplomacy in northwest Pakistan. Peshawar is a town of 1.9 million residents and is located in the northern part of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan. This part of the country has suffered the most from terrorism and militancy. A massacre of over 140 students and teachers at the Army Public School in Peshawar crystallized the threat of terrorism in the region and galvanized the government, military, and local partners into action to prevent such violence. Since then, violent incidents in northwest Pakistan have decreased to a large extent, but Peshawar and the surrounding areas are still subject to occasional suicide bombings and targeted killings.
The culture of this region is conservative. Islam is the religion of 90% of the population; religious minorities include Hindus, Sikh, and Christian communities. Due to the devastating effects of violence in the region following 9/11 and the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, there is a negative narrative against the United States in this region. Our main public diplomacy goal is to counter that narrative and increase understanding and acceptance of American values among the people of northwest Pakistan. This goal includes illustrating how the U.S. has evolved into one of the most accepting societies around the world, as far as religions, ethnicities, and culture is concerned. We want to show the students and youth the opportunities and prosperity that are available through learning more about and partnering with the U.S.
To achieve this goal, we want to give an American perspective to our online content. We want to show how students in America goes about their daily routine and how American society welcomes people from other countries. You as a virtual intern will support our public diplomacy through research and finding stories that Pakistani online users would relate to, such as stories related to Muslim students on your college campus, Pakistani-Americans that you have come across, Pakistani-American success stories, and U.S. education in general.

You should be able to adjust to conduct virtual webchats/speaking events for the different time zone of Pakistani Standard Time. Often, your participation in these events will mean being awake at odd hours for you during either late night or early morning hours Eastern Standard Time. You will be expected to communicate with the Consulate responsively through email, cell phone, WhatsApp and Skype.

The goal of this project is to expand the Consulate's followers and contact reach on social media and outside the virtual space through analysis of current followers and identification of new contacts to cultivate. The U.S. Consulate in Vladivostok operates in a challenging social media environment, where the reach of Facebook and Twitter is significantly reduced by the presence of the local Facebook competitor VKontakte, and popular messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Telegram. Additionally, the Consulate's Facebook page primarily reaches a Vladivostok audience, and secondarily Khabarovsk, leaving 40-130 followers in each of the major cities in the region (Yakutsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Nakhodka, and Ussuriisk; and zero followers in cities such as Magadan, Anadyr, Artem, and Birobidzhan. In practice, this means that advertising on social media - even when paid for - reaches a very small percentage of the target audience, and the Consulate is constantly struggling to promote attendance at public events such as concerts, film showings, and speaking events; and to promote knowledge of exchange program opportunities. This project could include two interns, whose duties would be divided in the following manner:
Intern 1: Facebook Audience Analysis and Contact Development
a. Analyze accounts of those who have liked our Consulate's posts for the past 6-12 months, developing an Excel spreadsheet with key bio data - name, current city, work, education, other websites if mentioned (ex. Instagram)
b. Search upcoming events on Facebook in Vladivostok and other regions to identify pages and people the Consulate should consider partnering with for events and event promotion
Intern 2: Instagram, Twitter, and VKontakte Contact Development
a. Seek out the accounts of influential people and representatives of key target audiences in the Russian Far East (particularly: journalists, bloggers, cultural centers, university professors and staff, university students, private (English) school teachers/directors, and clubs or other venues that organize musical performances, speakers, film showings, and other cultural events), and follow them from the Consulate's Instagram and Twitter pages
b. Make a list of particularly influential Instagram and VKontakte accounts of people and organizations in the above list, organized geographically.
c. Search online announcement forums to identify other cultural event organizers and make lists of their contact information, social media accounts, and types of events they organize. Vladivostok's site Vl.ru is a good starting point, and searching for upcoming events in Vladivostok and other cities through Facebook is also useful.
d. As time permits, conduct analysis of Consulate followers on VKontakte and identify ways to improve penetration there.

The State Department’s Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations (CSO) is seeking a self-motivated law student to research and report on the legal aspects of conducting programs designed to encourage fighters to leave the battlefield and assist them in reintegrating into civilian life. Such interventions must comply with international and host country laws that set the legal framework in a country. The Bureau is developing a legal framework to guide planners and practitioners in assessing a country’s capacity to implement a defection/disengaged fighters program. The applicant will assist in building this legal knowledge base to assist U.S. government officials and embassies abroad. What legal constraints most often stymie efforts to build an effective defections program? What can the U.S. Government do to help a country that does not have a strong legal framework to process defectors? Governments have offered amnesty decrees to manage former fighters; what international agreements/treaties would constrain what an amnesty law could do? The research would include case studies comparing national amnesty programs to determine which programs have proven effective and why.

The U.S. Embassy and Consulates in China receive millions of applications from Chinese citizens interested in traveling to the United States each year. Most visa applicants use clear, legal paths to obtain their visas. Others rely on visa fixers or submit fraudulent information. Chinese citizens have a vibrant online presence where netizens discuss a wide range of experiences, including their visa application process, options for obtaining or maintaining U.S. visa status, and how to disguise their true purpose of travel. The U.S. Consulate Shanghai is seeking interested, capable applicants with Chinese reading ability to review public blogs and postings to see what our applicants are saying about the methods they have used or are promoting for others interested in traveling to the United States. Research will be done online in any publicly available media. Minimum professional proficiency in reading simplified Chinese characters is necessary, but translation aids are permissable.

Those accepted onto the project will be given some background information to help them get started on their research, but must be self-motivated and self-directed in their work. The final work product is a report and supporting annex describing your findings. Among the materials provided will be instructions on how to format a formal, front channel cable in the Department of State—an essential skill for many U.S. diplomats. Although the cable will not be disseminated through formal channels, this is a terrific opportunity to gain experience in the formal writing style used within the Department.

Korea
South Korea is the world’s 11th largest economy ($1.5 trillion) and 27th most populous nation (51 million), as well as the United States' sixth largest trading partner. With U.S.-South Korea trade in goods and services totaling $144.6 billion in 2016 and companies such as General Motors, Pfizer, 3M, Hyundai, and Samsung making investments in both the U.S. and South Korea, our economic relationship is a pillar of the ironclad alliance between our countries.
Since the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS) went into effect in March 2012, bilateral trade has expanded and the ROK is now our sixth-largest trading partner and the seventh-fastest growing source of foreign direct investment in the United States, with ROK investment in the United States growing much faster than U.S. investment in the ROK. In March, our two countries agreed “in principle” to revisions to KORUS. In line with the “new normal” of slow global growth, the ROK economy has slowed to the 2-3 percent range of GDP growth, with additional challenges arising from its rapidly aging population, inflexible labor market, continued dominance of the chaebols, and heavy reliance on exports rather than domestic consumption. It also faces increased competition from regional rivals, particularly China and Japan. The low 4 percent official unemployment rate masks problems with high youth unemployment (almost 10 percent among ages 15-29), low worker productivity, high labor underutilization, and low female participation in the workforce.
To address these problems, President Moon has promised to make job creation his administration’s number one priority. He has pledged to create 810,000 public sector jobs and, through government support of small- and medium-sized enterprises, 500,000 private sector jobs. President Moon is also committed to ensuring South Korea's leadership in the "Fourth Industrial Revolution:" a term first introduced in January 2016 at the World Economic Forum and coined to denote the synthesis of cyber- and physical systems. Some examples are artificial intelligence, robotics, self-driving cars, and drones, all of which are being developed by South Korean researchers and companies.

The goal of this project is to study the voting pattern of the Government of Argentina in multilateral fora, with a focus on the United Nations and UN family agencies, across different political administration. Ideally, in addition to tallying Argentine positions, the candidate would be able to cross reference these positions with those of the United States and analyze how whether U.S. and Argentine positions have diverged over time, or not. The study should also incorporate political data from Argentina, mostly to showcase whether voting positions changed dramatically from one political administration in Argentina to the next. In the analysis part, it would useful if the intern could also assess whether Argentina has had a consistent principled approach to foreign policy issues over time, or whether their positions have been molded to fit political mood swings in Buenos Aires.

Yemen's ongoing civil war and economic devastation have severely hampered the ability of students and young professionals to obtain quality English education, or to even develop contacts with American and international peers and modern institutions. A Virtual Intern, preferably one studying for a degree in or related to TESOL or English Linguistics, would coordinate from September to May with the lead teacher or director of the U.S. government-funded, AMIDEAST-administered English After School Program (EASP) based in Aden, Yemen. He or she would deliver weekly live language practice via Skype to students enrolled in EASP classes, thereby complementing the English curriculum already in place, and allowing young Yemeni women and men to engage directly with a native English speaker approximately their age. Currently, the EASP program offers Skype speakers once per month. The Virtual Intern, in coordination with the AMIDEAST program director, could arrange to offer sessions more often, and more tied to youth interests. Depending on the workload, and at the program director’s convenience, the Virtual Intern could work with all or some (groups of 4-5) of the students every week. The Virtual Intern would be responsible for lesson planning, based on the weekly or monthly themes covered in the already existing program, to supplement practice on the grammar or vocabulary topics offered/scheduled. In advance of each session (a week, or a few days, as the lead teacher specifies), the Virtual Intern would send reading and/or viewing materials available online, as well as a set of conversation questions or topics that the will be discussed during the Skype call, so that students may prepare in advance. During the conversations, which could be 30-40 minutes, as time and technology allows, the Virtual Intern would engage the group of students in conversation based on the theme s/he selected for that week.

The U.S. Embassy in Israel is establishing a program to train Israeli alumni of Embassy-sponsored exchange programs, who work in managerial positions at non-governmental organizations in Israel, in how their organizations can establish internship programs for Israeli college students. Many Israelis who transition successfully from college to the workforce do so by relying on contacts developed during their Israeli Defense Force (IDF) service. However, there are a number of Israelis, particularly in the various Arab sectors as well as the Haredi sector, who do not serve in the IDF. Many community contacts have indicated that a greater availability of professional internships for university students in Israel, particularly targeting these communities, might help better bridge that gap. As a result, post has designed a program to provide a structured training course to alumni of Embassy-sponsored exchange programs who work in management positions at NGOs. The training will walk these alumni through the various steps involved in developing and offering an internship program, including the planning phase, human resources considerations, recruitment, on-the job mentoring of interns, and intern feed-back. If successful, the Embassy is hopeful that this program will serve as a model for other organizations in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors, as well as appropriate local authorities, to broaden the array of internship opportunities available to Israeli college students who come from disadvantaged communities.
The purpose of the virtual internship program being requested here is to conduct an assessment of whether the program works. Post is looking for virtual interns who can conduct surveys, interviews, and potentially virtual focus group discussions to gauge the effectiveness of the program from various participants' points of view: the alumni who go through our training program, the university students who are recruited for the internships, university job placement offices, and the other managers of the NGOs that establish internship programs. We would like the virtual interns to ask questions like whether the NGO benefited from having the intern on board, and whether the interns find it easier to transition to longer term employment.

We're looking for virtual interns who understand the nexus between academic education and on-the-job pre-professional experience in opening doors to job markets, especially in the entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship sectors. We're looking for virtual interns who also understand how to collect and analyze meaningful survey data in order to paint a picture of (a) whether a program meets its goals, and (b) what factors might motivate other Israeli organizations to adopt this model. Ideal candidates will be graduate students or 3rd/4th year undergraduates who have some familiarity with the field work and/or survey techniques used in fields like anthropology (especially applied anthropology), or in the fields of business administration, entrepreneurship, or social entrepreneurship. Good analytical writing skills are important, as the assessment findings could motivate other Israeli organizations to establish internship programs.

Given the sheer number of fighters in non-state armed groups across the globe, the need to disengage, rehabilitate, and reintegrate these individuals even in the absence of a cease fire or peace agreement presents significant challenges to the United States. CSO is actively pursuing programs to promote defections and reintegration in support of U.S. national security objectives. The successful applicant would build and organize a data collection on DDR and defections to support U.S. Government officials and U.S. embassies engaged in designing effective defection programs. The applicant would analyze and summarize articles and reports on various aspects of an effective DDR/defection program: evaluating motivations for joining and leaving non-state armed groups, addressing recidivism rates, building host government capacity, or encouraging more local community engagement. The applicant would also help assemble case studies of countries that did implement defection programs and compare/contrast the cases to highlight which national programs succeeded or failed and why. In addition to compiling and analyzing information, the applicant would produce papers presenting their findings.

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. The world's attention has turned to this region as September 2018 elections resulted in surprise upsets of incumbent politicians, and 6 out of the 10 districts with the lowest support for President Putin in the March presidential elections were in this region. The Public Affairs Section and Political-Economic Section of the Consulate are seeking an intern to help catch news stories each day that could be of broader interest outside the region.

The U.S. Embassy in Paraguay's top priority is helping Paraguayans to combat corruption in their country. In recent years, they have made headway, but they still have far to go. Many major corruption cases are pending in the judicial system and new ones are being added all the time. The Embassy has an internal tracking system for corruption cases, but is seeking help in monitoring public information sources to ensure that the tracking system is continually updated. This internship will involve monitoring online information sources for new articles about corruption cases and providing that information (in a pre-determined format) to the Embassy on a weekly basis. It will also include social media monitoring, characterizing the online conversation about transparency and corruption issues, also on a weekly basis. This internship would be perfect for a student with strong Spanish skills (especially reading) and some familiarity with Latin American political science.

This is an open-ended project - you will get some guidance from the Embassy but much of the design and research will be up to you! We're looking for a self-starter who is deeply interested in Latin America and political issues. Paraguay is a fascinating case study of a relatively new democracy (1989) combating many of the issues that are common in the rest of the region. The Embassy team is committed to making this a positive experience for our interns!

This project looks to preserve religious history and promote international religious freedom through a collaboration with the Sahar Hassamaim synagogue-museum in downtown Ponta Delgada, the capital of the Azores Autonomous Region. The intern will review and translate from Hebrew into English several primary sources, including handwritten letters, and help document the history of Judaism in the Azores, including connections to Jewish communities in the United States. In 1496, an edict from King Manuel I of Portugal ordered the expulsion or conversion to Christianity of all Jews, many of whom fled on a caravel toward North Africa, and ended up landing on the island of Terceira in the Azores due to a storm. The Jewish passengers were detained, enslaved and offered by King Manuel I to the Captain of the Islands of Terceira and São Jorge, Vasco Enes Corte-Real. According to tradition, the landing place of these “New Christians” has since been called Porto Judeu, or Jewish Port. This project will help document and preserve the almost forgotten history of the Jewish community in the Azores, including connections to Jewish communities in the United States.

Is UNEP an effective partner to monitor the environmental impacts of foreign investment?

Will a partnership between UNEP and a foreign government lead to more environmentally friendly investment and development aid?

UNEP headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya has the mandate to keep the state of the world’s environment under review. The US Mission to UNEP is looking for an intern that is interested in how a partnership between UNEP and a foreign government may or may not lead to increased environmental protections.
Since 2013, China has been developing The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (known as Belt and Road Initiative or BRI) to expand the ancient trade routes. Through the BRI, China’s intent is to enhance economic development and inter-regional connectivity focusing on policy, infrastructure, trade, finance and people.
The Silk Road Fund invests in resource extraction, industrial and financial cooperation, technical capacity building and especially infrastructure for transportation, energy, telecommunications and industrial capacity.
The Belt and Road Initiative covers a vast area stretching across three continents and involving some 65 countries. Together, these countries represent approximately 40% of the earth’s total land area, 30% of global Gross Domestic Product, 55% of total CO2 emissions, and 60% of the world’s population. The outcomes of this Initiative could have a profound impact on the planet and on human development.
In 2016 UNEP signed an agreement with China to facilitate collaboration and cooperation on ecological conservation and environmental protection for a green BRI and to promote sustainable development along the BRI region. This is, to our best knowledge, the first such agreement between UNEP and a country regarding the environmental aspect of their development and investment program. Therefore, this virtual internship project will help to analyze the overall effectiveness of this approach to environmentally sustainable development and investment and whether this approach or aspects of it should be emulated or avoided for achieving improved environmental sustainability.
Because our Mission is headquartered in Kenya, we are primarily interested in projects in Africa. The first task of the intern(s) would be to make a data base of the BRI projects in Africa.
In addition to an analysis of the overall effectiveness, specific questions that may need to be addressed are: (the list may expand or contract as the project takes shape)
1. What environmental standards are applied to projects? National, Chinese, global, other?
2. Is there a requirement for an Environmental Impact Assessment on projects? If yes, who completes it? Government, independent assessor? Who pays for the assessment? Is it required to be completed before a project begins?
3. Are there independent evaluations of projects before or after completion?
4. Is there open bidding on projects for general contracting or equipment? If yes, who decides: the recipient country or China?

Embassy Kuwait seeks two interns. One will examine each U.S. state's policies on recognizing Kuwait's driver's license in order to obtain that state's driver's license. The second intern will review Kuwait's driver examinations and testing policies. Each will present their findings and recommendations for bilateral discussions and potential steps forward to improve mutual recognition of driver's licenses and ease an administrative and financial burden for both countries' citizens.
KUWAIT
Kuwait
United States
Some U.S. states do not recognize Kuwait's driver's licenses as meeting state or international standards. These states require Kuwaiti drivers, whether diplomats or students, to complete the full driver's training, examinations, and road test before issuing a Kuwaiti driver a valid U.S. state driver's license. Some U.S. states limit the validity of their state driver’s license to match the validity of the foreign resident’s U.S. visa.
Kuwait improved its driver training and examination requirements in recent years. The Government of Kuwait is looking to identify the steps it must take to obtain U.S. state recognition of its driver licenses. Because some U.S. states do not recognize Kuwait's driver's license, and thus exempt Kuwaitis from the training, examinations, and road test, Kuwait applies the diplomatic principal of reciprocity. Kuwait requires U.S. citizens to pass driver training, the written examination, a vision test, and a road test. Kuwait also limits the validity of its drivers licenses based on the validity of the U.S. citizen's Kuwait resident permit.
The additional testing is a headache for both countries' citizens. With over 14,000 Kuwaiti students in the United States, most need a car to commute to and from undergraduate or graduate studies and their residences. Although already qualified to drive, they spend additional time studying, driving, and taking the examination and road test. Similar to Kuwaiti students' and diplomats’ experiences in the United States, many of the more than 40,000 U.S. citizens living and working in Kuwait must take additional time away from work and home to complete Kuwait's driver training, examinations, and road test.

Russian state media is hard at work influencing foreign publics, including in Brazil. Understanding their methodologies, target audiences, and audience response is of critical importance to the United States. Knowing how Russia is working to influence Brazilians, both on matters of relevance to the United States and our bilateral relationship with Brazil, helps inform our own efforts to communicate with Brazilian audiences. As Brazil approaches its presidential election in late 2018, this work will also help inform our understanding of the political landscape.
The intern who takes on this project will be required to monitor digital media sources, including social media, for content specifically targeted at Brazilian audiences, in the Portuguese language.

Reporting should include brief (one paragraph) summaries of key articles, videos, and other products, and a summary of any comments and further reach of products and posts. Ongoing audience analysis will also be helpful including audience size, identification of key social media influencers, and analysis of posts and comments to determine if content is authentic or computer-generated (i.e. bots). Content to be focused on for this project is to be Portuguese language content created specifically for Brazilian audiences.

The rooms house a historic museum-quality collection of more than 5,000 fine and decorative art objects valued at more than $125 million that tell the story of our country’s founding and formative years. The fine and decorative arts collection is comprised of paintings, sculptures, prints and manuscripts, furniture, silver, glass, textiles, export porcelain and earthenware from 1730 - 1860. A significant portion of the collection relates to important moments in our country’s history and represents excellent examples of fine and decorative art from important artists and craftsmen. Some of the pieces in the collection include portraits of Founding Fathers by Gilbert Stuart, landscape portraits by Thomas Moran, porcelain owned by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other signers of the Declaration of Independence, and the desk upon which the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783. These historic objects and artwork tell the story of our country’s history and cultural heritage, and illustrate the importance of diplomacy and civic engagement.

Many of us in DC and throughout the world that work on digital media for the State Department have little time to keep up with the latest tech and social media news. This includes changes in major platforms, new platforms, expert advice, and general think-pieces related to our work. Through a current summer intern, the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs (WHA) Digital has started the “Digital Daily Buzz” that summarizes the top news of the day and sends it out to a wide audience. The response has been very positive and we’d like to continue the product, and consider enhancements, starting this August and onward.

The small Public Affairs team in Nicosia is an ever-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 enthusiastic individuals who are in touch with social media trends and developments to engage Cypriot youth across social media platforms, and we believe that American students are uniquely positioned to help us enhance our content. If you are selected, you will be able to exercise your creative skills on our social media channels, preparing graphics, creating and editing videos. You will also be researching and drafting presentations used by Embassy personnel at local educational institutions in close coordination with our team. In previous years students have developed “Day in the Life” videos of Cypriot students studying at U.S. universities.
NICOSIA
Cyprus
Over the last few years, our Facebook page USEmbassyCyprus has become the mission’s main online communication channel to Cypriot audiences from all walks of life, but especially youth. Despite being a small Public Affairs team, we work to prepare interesting daily content for our audiences, focusing on local events, holiday celebrations, information on Embassy and State Department programs, anniversaries, and other programs. If you are selected, you will get to experience this process taking place in an intriguing political environment such as Cyprus. In support of this endeavor, we design both short- and long-term campaigns using a combination of U.S. Government produced articles and materials and local features. You will also get to work closely with our Public Diplomacy team to design these campaigns and explore new platforms and outreach tools.
We will communicate with interns through a regularly scheduled online VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol, e.g. Skype) calls, emails, and online document collaboration through cloud-based applications (note: Nicosia is seven hours ahead of Eastern Standard time). Occasionally, virtual interns may participate in the 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 follow current social media trends, and understand Facebook insights and Twitter analytics. They will also get to work on alternative platforms to reach existing and new audiences. Awareness of current State Department priorities and campaigns is preferred but not required. When needed, interns will work on special projects relating to American history, music, education, art, etc. to help Embassy Cyprus expose local audiences in lesser-known areas of U.S. culture which are not widely known. At times, Nicosia’s Virtual Interns may also be asked to help with audio and video transcription, assist with budgeting, and proposal drafting. Knowledge of either Greek or Turkish would be welcome and helpful, but not required.
Another post social media priority is 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 United States.
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.
We strongly believe that through this internship, the selected candidate will gain experience in State Department public diplomacy work with foreign audiences and gain a better understanding of the Foreign Service.

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 information 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.
See “Additional Information” for more.
United States
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 bi-weekly or monthly conference calls with other interns and the Video Captioning team, discussing projects and related issues. Interns will take turns taking notes of the meeting, practicing an important professional skill, particularly useful at the Department of State.
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.

Functionality
We envision an iOS/Android app (smartphone and tablet) that integrates with our class calendar, allows employees to register in advance for the class, receive push notifications of a change or cancellation, share the app and/or a class with a colleague, and allow attendees to provide class feedback.
The app should grow with our office and offerings; as we add classes, they should populate on the app, regardless of location (including eventually outside the area).
The app should also have a backend that provides usage, and attendance and satisfaction data.
Use Cases
Use Case 1: Sally works at location A and wants to attend the HIIT class in location B, which starts at 12pm. At 11:30am, she notes her work schedule allows for her to attend, and pulls out her iPhone. She opens the app, logs in, selects the HIIT class she wants to attend and registers for the class while walking to location B.
Use Case 2: Bob is registered for Yoga at location C, which begins in 15 minutes. MED Wellness is notified of a room change and sends a push notification to Bob and all others registered for that Yoga class.

Analytical writing, Research
Project Description
The Office of Religion and Global Affairs 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 advisors to research and write cogent analyses of the religious environment in a specific country(s). Analyses may take on a broader scope to look at cross-national issues as well as narrow in on issues in the corner of an individual country. The goal is to develop up-to-date resources for use by regional policy advisors as well as Department staff working in those regions.
United States
Interns will be working with several policy advisors to address their needs in preparing assessments of the religious landscapes of countries of need, even looking at very narrow issues involving religious communities (i.e. elections and the Catholic Church in Nicaragua). Other assignments in this broad topic may arise. For more about RGA, please go to this site: https://www.state.gov/s/rga/

Are you obsessed with social media? Do you spend hours a day lurking on Twitter wondering what everyone is doing? Do you doodle during boring classes? The public affairs office in the State Department's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation may be the perfect place for you! We are looking for a social media-savvy college student who wants to channel his/her social media obsession and artistic doodlings, and interest in foreign policy and national security. Our bureau's mission is to keep the world's worst weapons--nukes, chemicals and biological toxins--out of the hands of the worst people. And we need someone to scour social media platforms to find out what people are saying about our issues. We also need a creative soul to find catchy ways to illustrate some cool issues (think missiles and nukes) and other issues that maybe aren't quite as scintillating (think UN resolutions and treaties). If you've got experience in international security or nonproliferation, that's a major bonus.

STATE-ECU-184
Cultural diplomacy, Educational design
This project supports English language education in Ecuador by having U.S. interns hold conversation classes directly with small groups of university-level English majors via a digital video connection such as Google Hangouts. Most of the students will become English teachers, of which there is a great need in Ecuador. The student groups are located in cities throughout Ecuador, and many lack the opportunity to interact with native English speakers. The U.S. interns will be provided with language instruction materials to facilitate conversations, but are free to be creative in finding materials and topics. Exact lesson plans are not required, but this could be good practice for students who plan to pursue teaching as a profession. Interns are required to report on attendance and progress with the Mission contact on a weekly basis. Program time commitment for interns includes a total of two hours per week for English conversation classes, plus time for preparation, consulting with the participants, and reporting.

Public Affairs Section (PAS) Dubai is looking for multiple interns who have an interest and passion for meeting people as well as for telling stories and a curiosity for other cultures. PAS Dubai has active social media channels and does extensive EducationUSA outreach to promote higher education opportunities in the United States. The interns would assist us in gathering video and photographic material for these channels, as well as for possibly screening at educational fairs in the UAE.
A sample project might be interviews with Muslim students in the U.S. about how they celebrate Ramadan. The intern would identify the interviewee, secure a photo/video release (template provided by PAS Dubai), conduct the interview and then send the raw footage to us. Another sample project would be speaking with Emirati students near you and interviewing them about their university experiences.
