Email

The Coptic Solidarity (CS) Internship Program is an opportunity for undergraduates, graduates, and recent graduates to engage in career exploration, development, and a chance to learn new skills as they directly contribute to CS’s mission. The type of work varies by intern position and may include projects related to research, administrative tasks, communications, and more. Interns are embedded within the day-to-day work at CS and have a curated learning experience for the intern cohort.

 

The typical internship lasts about 18 weeks, and all internships are remote. This winter's cohort starts on October 5, 2026, and ends roughly on February 26, 2027. All interns have the option to earn academic credit through external programs. Interns are expected to commit 10-12 hours per week and work directly with the Senior Director of Advocacy and External Relations and the Public Affairs & Policy Advisor, as well as CS Board Members.
