Internships

“Overall, it was a really valuable experience, particularly for the things I learned and people I met through my internship.” — Jason, Peace & Global Studies | Earlham College

Internships have been a vital part of the Institute's programming for students, providing interns with an opportunity to apply what they've learned in the classroom, creating, testing and improving upon their own approach to peacebuilding.

In the absence of Institute programming (programming ended on March 31, 2010), here is a diverse list of several of our community partners that have previously provided internship opportunities for our students. Students seeking internships with Indianapolis peacebuilding organizations should start their search for an internship by approaching these organizations.
