Ashoka Internship

Ashoka is an organization that fosters social entrepreneurship. Interns at Ashoka work with professionals and entrepreneurs committed to supporting an influential civil society worldwide. Interns are immersed in dynamic projects as well as Ashoka's unique staff culture. The goal is to give interns the opportunity to shape their own substantive responsibilities. As trusted members of the Ashoka team, interns are expected to demonstrate Ashoka’s core values of applied empathy, entrepreneurship and collegiality, and commitment to innovation for the public. Ashoka will try to match intern interests with program needs to find a good fit; interns may be asked to contribute to more than one program.

Ashoka's intern program is located in their office in Arlington, Virginia (just outside Washington, DC). Internship positions in the Arlington office include: the Global Marketing Internship, the Global Development Internship, the Citizen Base Initiative (CBI) Best Practices Internship, General Internship, etc. For current opportunities, see website. Intern applicants for international offices should apply directly to the appropriate country representative.
