If you want professional, hands-on experience working with refugees, asylees, & trafficking victims, apply to be an intern with the IRC in Silver Spring!
Below are the titles and a brief description of each internship. For detailed information, visit IRC Careersnew window and enter location as "Silver Spring". Prospective Interns can use that link to apply by filtering on the key word “intern” and the location “Silver Spring.”

The IRC was founded at the behest of Albert Einstein in 1933 to assist people fleeing from persecution. Since then, the IRC has grown and works all over the world providing humanitarian support. In the United States, the IRC is one of 9 US refugee resettlement agencies given permission from the federal government to resettle refugees in the United States. In Silver Spring, the IRC works with refugees the moment they step off the plane to help them get situated and become self-sufficient members of their new community.
Our interns are a major part of our work. IRC internships give interns the opportunity to work directly with refugees to teach them or help them accomplish tasks needed to live successfully in the US. We offer 16 unique internships that offer a wide variety of opportunities to develop different skills and gain experience including:  

• Anti-Trafficking/Intensive Case Management: The Anti-Trafficking/Intensive Case Management Intern will work in close coordination with the case management teams to serve survivors of human trafficking, refugees and other vulnerable immigrants who are struggling to navigate various systems to access resources and services.
• Asylee Casework: The Asylee Casework team helps newly-arrived asylees access financial assistance, Medicaid, food stamps and social security and enroll in health insurance and ESL classes.
• Career Development: The Career Development Program assists employed clients in securing job upgrades to improve economic conditions and align with career history and/or career objectives. The intern will work closely with the Career Development team and Financial Capabilities program to promote client self-sufficiency and encourage clients to work towards long-term career goals.
• Economic Empowerment: The Economic Empowerment program assists refugees to become economically self-sufficient by placing recently arrived refugees in their first job in the United States.
• Refugee Employment and Skill-Building: The Refugee Employment and Skill-Building Program aims to reduce barriers to self-sufficiency and employment and assist refugees to secure full-time employment.
• Refugee Employment Coordination: The Employment Coordination Program supports humanitarian immigrants to achieve economic self-sufficiency through engagement in work participation activities including volunteering, internship procurement, vocational English as a second language classes, and referrals to certificate-bearing professional development courses.
• Family Mentor: The Family Mentor Program focuses on helping newly arrived refugees feel more at home by connecting them to mentors from the local community. The Family Mentor team provides support for mentors during their six-month commitment and monitors the refugee family’s improvement throughout the program.
• Gender Equity: IRC programming assists refugees to become economically self-sufficient and supports acclimatization within the United States by providing access to casework services. This role will support the IRC’s Gender Equality work, cross-cutting programmatically and departmentally to support the administration of equitable services and the proper consideration of gender concerns in programmatic and departmental initiatives.
• Health Outreach: The Health Outreach team engages immigrant communities to prevent the spread of COVID-19, mitigate its impact, and increase vaccine acceptance and knowledge. This includes creating and sharing linguistically accurate and culturally appropriate materials developed in partnership with refugee and immigrant communities.
• Immigration: IRC's Immigration Department in Silver Spring, Maryland provides high quality, low-cost immigration services, including filing applications for adjustment of status (i.e. green cards), work authorization, naturalization, and family reunification for refugees, asylees, victims of trafficking and other immigrants.

• Refugee Resettlement: The Refugee Resettlement team supports refugees during their first eight months in the United States. The housing team prepares their apartment. Caseworkers connect refugees with services include providing monthly cash assistance, ensuring that clients apply for public benefits such Medicaid, food stamps, social security and enroll in health insurance and ESL classes. And the cultural orientation team introduce refugees to U.S. customs and systems.

Interns will support the planning and implementation of IRC's Summer Academy as well as enrolling new clients in the youth program and completing individual service plans for each individual client.  

Most internships require a minimum of 15–20 hours per week. However, interns who can dedicate more time (–35 hours a week) will get the most out of their experience as it will give them the opportunity to take on more responsibilities and projects.

All selected interns will need to undergo and clear a background check and reference check to intern. We ask that you make a $30 donation to help us cover the associated costs. Currently, 87% of our funding goes directly to programming to support our clients, and your help to cover this cost will ensure that no funding is directed away from serving our clients. Instructions will be provided after you have been selected to intern or volunteer.  

The IRC is not able to sponsor visas. Students who hold a US visa will need to coordinate with the Volunteer Coordinator to determine if they are eligible to intern. A common visa type that we host are F1 visas with OPT or CPT.

All internships are unpaid. For information on scholarship opportunities, contact your university or the IRC Silver Spring intern coordinator at Kyle.Monsees@Rescue.org.
