VSFS is part of a growing effort by the State Department to harness technology and a commitment to global service among young people to facilitate new forms of diplomatic engagement. Learn more: http://www.state.gov/vsfs.
VSFS eIntern duties and responsibilities will vary according to the location and needs of each diplomatic post overseas or State Department domestic office and VSFS projects identified. VSFS projects may be research based, contributing to reports on issues such as human rights, economics or the environment. They may alos be more technology oriented, such as working on web pages, or helping produce electronic journals. Selected students are expected to work virtually on an average of 5-10 hours per week on VSFS eInternship projects. Students apply in the summer and if selected, begin the eInternship that fall lasting through spring. Most work and projects are internet-based and some have language requirements.
Be looking for the application process to begin this summer 2012 to participate in the 2012-2013 program. To look at the past projects click here.
