ABOUT LEARNING LIFE AND THE INTERNSHIP
Learning Life is a nonprofit education and citizen engagement lab based in Washington D.C. Our flagship program, the Family Diplomacy Initiative (FDI), connects families in nations worldwide via the internet to nurture a family form of citizen diplomacy. Our International Mentoring Program helps open the world to children from lower-income families in the USA and abroad. Our Democracy Dinners nurture deeper conversation across specialty silos among democracy sector activists, academics, professionals and elected officials in metro D.C.
Learning Life is now accepting resumes from graduate and undergraduate students interested in interning with us remotely. Depending on each student’s interests and skills plus our organizational needs, interns support the above-mentioned three programs, assisting with a variety of tasks including research and writing; local to global outreach via social media, email and phone; document translation and/or live language interpreting; website and design; photo and video recording and/or editing; fundraising, and more.
The internship tentatively starts Friday, January 8, 2021 with a 1-2 hour orientation meeting via Zoom, and ends in early May. During this period, interns must be able to commit a total of 10 hours/week: 9 hours/week of independent work + a live one-on-one 1-hour meeting online once per week with Learning Life’s Director, Paul Lachelier, to go over work completed and assign new tasks.
The internship is unpaid, but offers substantive, resume-building experience working on innovative international education and citizen engagement initiatives, and a formal reference and/or recommendation letter upon request given satisfactory performance.
