Over the years, we’ve welcomed hundreds of college students and recent graduates to serve as interns and join our movement to Leave No Child Behind®. Whether at our National Office in Washington, D.C. or one of our state offices, interns have proven vital to CDF’s work. 

We offer internships in four core areas:

1. Policy and Research
2. Programs, including CDF Freedom Schools and Beat the Odds 
3. Communications
4. Fundraising and Marketing

Our interns gain an insider’s view of the role of public interest groups in the policy process and enjoy unparalleled access to practitioners, experts and leaders in child advocacy. As an intern at CDF, you’ll get the critical knowledge, skills and experience you need to pursue an active life of leadership and service.

CDF is not currently accepting applications for our internship program.
