JUSFC-CULCON Spring Internship: Seeking One Intern for the Spring Semester 2026
The Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission (JUSFC), and U.S. CULCON offer a paid internship program for graduate and undergraduate students who are interested in U.S.-Japan relations. Our office culture is one of high standards, mutual respect, professionalism, trust, and accountability. This internship is a professional development opportunity that is designed to introduce you to new fields; help you develop or improve skills; and build your resume and network. We offer substantive and interesting work; mentorship; a collegial and supportive work environment; and excellent networking opportunities. Interns perform tasks that allow them to learn hands-on skills to build their resume. Additionally, JUSFC and CULCON provide mentoring and introductions to various Japan-related events in Washington, D.C. that serve as networking opportunities.
Anticipated Internship Start Date - January 5th.
Who: Applicants must be current undergraduate or graduate students who are eligible to work in the United States. Excellent research, writing, Internet, communication (including comfort handling telephone calls) and organizational skills are required. These are skills that an intern will have ample opportunity to develop further but must demonstrate a certain level of pre-requisite ability. Knowledge of Japan and/or Japanese language are desirable but not required. A professional, respectful demeanor toward peers and colleagues, and an appreciation for the intricacies of collaboration is expected.
