Meridian International Center Fellowships

MERIDIAN INTERNATIONAL CENTER FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

Meridian International Center’s Fellowship Program exposes rising students and professionals to public diplomacy, international relations, exchanges, cultural and corporate diplomacy, and more.

Fellows develop the professional experience that will allow them to explore the fields of diplomacy and international affairs by gaining an overview of the operations of a nonprofit public diplomacy center. The fellowship includes professional development activities, including mentorship, training and education sessions, lunches with senior leadership, and an opportunity to create a capstone project that can be used as part of a professional portfolio.

All Fellows will be paid the Washington, D.C. minimum wage. In addition, all Fellows working in person will be eligible for a $75 per month Metro SmartBenefits contribution.

The Meridian Fellowship Program is located in Washington D.C., and Meridian requires MD, DC, or VA residence for all employees. Fellows must have current authorization to work in the United States. Meridian does not sponsor work visas. The position may work partially remotely until further notice.
