Fall 2020 NVI General Internship

At Nonviolence International, we take pride in our role as a leading nonprofit organization within the worldwide movement for nonviolence and peaceful conflict resolution. We advocate for active nonviolence and support creative constructive nonviolent campaigns globally. To fulfill our mission we provide training resources, tactical strategies, educational materials, timely webinars fostering community and furthering engagement, inspirational stories of nonviolence, and updates on nonviolent campaigns around the world.

Please check with your school's Registrar's Office or Office of Personal & Career Development BEFORE accepting this internship to determine if this opportunity fits within your school's requirements of an academic internship

Then please consider applying to an NVI General Internship for the Fall of 2020.

As Nonviolence International’s staff is relatively small, interns play an integral role in NVI’s projects and functioning as a cohesive organization. While interns work closely with NVI staff members and volunteers, they are also expected to exhibit independence, creativity, and initiative. Each intern will split their time between research, programmatic support, organizational outreach, and administrative tasks, but will be able to invest significant time and work within their preferred projects of choice. 

Our Fall Internship Program will commence at the beginning of September and will wrap up in December. Internships are available at our organization for students and non-students and can be arranged for-credit with colleges and universities. Currently, these are unpaid internships. Interns must be able to dedicate at least 15-20 hours per week on average for a minimum of three months. Given the ongoing uncertainties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unsure as to our return to the office and will be willing to accept remote candidates given the success of our entirely remote summer internship. 

In terms of qualifications, we are a very open-minded organization, understanding that applicant’s talents, personal qualities, and experiences go far beyond a static, one-page resume. Thus, we welcome everyone interested in our internship program to apply, regardless of your educational background, professional experience, skills, and accomplishments. However, that is not to say such objective qualifications will not be considered or boost an applicant’s candidacy. We here at Nonviolence International think it is important to take a holistic approach to candidate’s applications which includes their passions and interests.

Responsibilities of this internship will include but are not limited to...

If ready to apply, please send a resume and cover letter to: internsupervisor[at]nonviolenceinternational.net. 

Incomplete applications and cover letters not addressed to our organization will not be considered.

Applications are now OPEN. Applicants will be interviewed and extended offers on a rolling basis, giving preference to early applicants. 

Applications will close no later than August 16th, 2020, OR if we reach the capacity of our intern program before that date.

If you have any questions regarding the internship program, application requirements, or are experiencing any technical difficulties, please direct all questions to:
