What is a Virtual Fall Internship?

A Virtual Fall Internship is a temporary work experience opportunity that takes place remotely during the fall semester, typically from September to December. Interns complete tasks, attend meetings, and collaborate with colleagues online rather than in a physical office. These internships allow students and recent graduates to gain valuable professional experience, develop skills, and build their resumes, all while working from home or another remote location. Virtual internships often offer flexible scheduling and the chance to work with organizations outside the intern’s immediate geographic area.

What are some common challenges faced during a Virtual Fall Internship and how can I overcome them?

One common challenge during a Virtual Fall Internship is staying connected and engaged with your team remotely. Communication can sometimes be less spontaneous than in-person environments, requiring interns to be proactive in reaching out for guidance or feedback. Time management can also be tricky when working from home, so it’s helpful to create a structured daily schedule and set clear goals. To overcome these challenges, make use of all available communication tools, attend virtual meetings actively, and regularly check in with your supervisor to stay aligned on tasks and expectations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Virtual Fall Intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Virtual Fall Intern, you need strong organizational skills, time management, and a willingness to learn, typically supported by ongoing college enrollment or recent graduation. Familiarity with collaboration tools like Zoom, Slack, Google Workspace, and project management platforms is often required. Excellent communication, adaptability, and self-motivation are critical soft skills for success in remote environments. These skills ensure you can effectively contribute, stay productive, and make a positive impression while working independently from a distance.

Job description

Internship Opportunities
The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) is a Washington, DC-based nonpartisan 501(c)(3) research institute focusing on national security and foreign policy. FDD conducts in-depth research, produces accurate and timely analyses, identifies illicit activities, and provides policy options – all with the aim of strengthening U.S. national security and reducing or eliminating threats posed by adversaries and enemies of the United States and other free nations. FDD does not accept donations from any foreign governments.

About FDD's Internship Program


The Foundation for Defense of Democracies offers a variety of internship opportunities designed to provide meaningful professional development. Interns participate in a twice-monthly speaker series featuring senior staff members in a small-group setting and are encouraged to strengthen their academic and analytical skills through close collaboration with FDD scholars and experts. The organization offers stipends and can assist students seeking academic credit; however, stipend eligibility requirements must be met. FDD provides both hybrid and remote internship options.


Applications will be considered on a rolling basis. It is recommended that interested candidates submit applications early. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
