Ashoka Internships

Interns at Ashoka work in a dynamic, innovative environment of international professionals and cutting-edge social entrepreneurs committed to supporting an influential civil society worldwide. We look for highly collegial, ethical people who have a track record of entrepreneurship and innovation for social change.

Internship candidates are evaluated regarding the criteria that represent Ashoka's culture as well as the specific qualifications for each internship. Ashoka tries to match intern interests with program needs to find a good fit, and interns may be asked to contribute to more than one program.

Ashoka is currently looking for Fall Associates to work in our office in Arlington, Virginia (outside Washington, D.C.). Fall Associates will receive a stipend, commensurate with academic experience. Ashoka is an officially recognized work-study site for eligible students from Georgetown University and George Washington University.

Location. The Ashoka office is conveniently located above the Rosslyn Metro station on the Blue/Orange line, and is also serviced by several bus lines.
