NASPAA is seeking a student in fields such as public policy, public or nonprofit administration, education, or similar for an internship that will last approximately 8-10 weeks during Summer 2025, starting sometime in June.

  • Diversity Insights Report—The intern will write a separate report on NASPAA’s Diversity Data (example). The intern will analyze diversity data collected in programs’ Self-Study Reports to provide insights into diversity at NASPAA-accredited programs.

The intern/project assistant position will pay $18 per hour, depending on experience and student status, and will be part-time (~32 hours per week).  The position will be primarily remote.  However, if the chosen applicant is local to DC, they will be expected to come into the office twice a week when their supervisor is there.  The internship will be fully remote if the applicant is not local to DC.
