The Carter Center offices in Atlanta have reopened. At this time, all sessions will be held in person on site at our Atlanta campus. If you have any questions, we encourage you to reach out to us at EducationalPrograms@cartercenter.org.
Carter Center internships are a paid opportunity. Fall and spring sessions are 15 weeks long with a stipend of $5,100; our summer session is 10 weeks long with a stipend of $3,400. Interns work 20 hours per week.
There are no citizenship requirements for interns. However, all applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. International students enrolled in U.S.-based colleges or universities are eligible with approval from your host institution.
If you are not a U.S. citizen and unsure if you are authorized to intern in the United States, please email EducationalPrograms@CarterCenter.org to check eligibility.
Internships are available through a number of programs and offices within three broad areas of The Carter Center.
