The United Nations Foundation is a charitable organization headquartered in Washington, DC that supports the United Nations and its activities. It was established in 1998 with a $1 billion gift to the United Nations by philanthropist Ted Turner, who believed the UN was crucial for addressing the world’s problems.
Now applications are open for 20 Internships at The United Nations Foundation. Internships are presently available for the spring, summer, and fall semesters. Approximately two months before each semester’s start, internships are announced. If there aren’t any openings posted right now, come back later to the United Nations
Through their initiatives, they help girls develop a broader range of social impact skills, access a platform for sharing their stories, and use STEM for social good. Their female leaders help generate millions of dollars to fund United Nations programs that reach tens of thousands of girls worldwide, develop community-based movements, and promote meaningful policy change at the local and national levels. The United Nations Foundation established Girl Up in 2010 and is still working with a wide range of partners to promote gender equality on a global scale.
