About the ACDIS Internship Database
This database is intended as a guide to help students identify various internship opportunities relevant to topics—such as conflict resolution, environment and energy, disarmament, and so on—of interest to the ACDIS program. The database includes over two hundred organizations with internship programs both in the United States and abroad, as well as additional links with general information and advice about internships. Where possible, we have linked directly to web pages devoted to internship and career opportunities on a given organization’s web site. We have also provided information, when available, about compensation available through each internship (whether it is paid or unpaid, and whether or not a stipend is available).
Note: This database was developed by employees and students affiliated with the Program in Arms Control, Disarmament, and International Security (ACDIS) at the University of Iliinois. Inclusion in this database does not represent endorsement by ACDIS or the University of any particular organization or its internship program. The content here is provided simply as an informational resource.
Suggestions on links to be added or updated can be sent by email to ACDIS.
