CIHC volunteer and internship opportunities provide a substantive and challenging work experience with the possibility to expand your knowledge and understanding of humanitarian aid.  The internships provide an entry point into the humanitarian affairs field, as well as a valuable understanding of the main issues and dilemmas that humanitarian affairs is constantly forced to evaluate. In addition, the work environment is flexible and supportive with the possibility for growth.

Volunteer and internship opportunities generally range from four weeks to one year.  The internships are agreed upon by the intern and the Institute to be on a full or part time basis.

All applicants should send a letter (no more than one page) explaining why they wish to work in humanitarian affairs and how an internship with CIHC will further their career goals of working in the HA field. Applicants should also attach a copy of their resume, including the most up-to-date contact information.
