MacArthur Foundation 2025 Communications Internship Program

MacArthur Foundation 2025 Communications Internship Program

The Communications Intern will support the department with a balance of short- and long-term projects. The Communications team collaborates with program teams and other colleagues across the Foundation to create and implement strategic communications plans that enhance the impact of MacArthur’s work and the work of grantees.

The team is responsible for the Foundation’s strategic efforts to communicate with the press, public, and policymakers, including media relations, web and social media efforts, printed materials, and events. The team also provides communications support and advice to MacArthur’s leadership, staff, and grantees

The internship is designed to be a substantive learning experience, so the intern will join Communications team meetings and Staff events and attend briefings by grantees and other practitioners. The intern will contribute across MacArthur’s areas of work, rather than focus on any one social issue. This internship will be of value to candidates interested in communications, especially as a tool for social change.
