AJC Goldman Summer Fellowship

American Jewish Committee's Goldman Summer Fellowship Program is designed to develop future leaders in the areas of international and domestic politics, advocacy, public relations, and management. This competitive summer fellowship gives undergraduate students the unique opportunity to work in AJC offices in the U.S. and throughout the world—from New York City to Brussels, Belgium.

Fellows work supervised closely by mentors—senior AJC personnel—to learn about strategy, diplomacy, and the development and implementation of programs. Fellows may also spend part of their time on an independent project for the AJC office to which they are assigned.

Research and policy work spans the range of AJC's interests—from international affairs to intergroup relations and non-profit management. Applicants are asked to select their preferred field(s) of interest as well as any location preferences. AJC seeks to match applicants' preferences with the agency's needs.

AJC Goldman Fellows receive a minimum stipend of $4,000 (gross) for the program, plus major travel expenses to and from AJC programming.

AJC's Goldman Fellowship Program is made possible by a generous grant from The Joyce and Irving Goldman Family Foundation.

The Summer 2024 Fellowship application is open now and can be found here. The application will remain open until 11:59 pm ET on January 22nd 2024. Please email campus@ajc.org with any questions.

International and Regional Placements

AJC Goldman Fellows are hosted by national and international AJC offices and affiliates. Over the last several years, fellows have worked in U.S. offices including New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and others in addition to international offices in Berlin, Brussels, and Melbourne. Placement is a two-way matching process in which AJC offices and affiliates apply for a fellow, and students apply for a fellowship.

Stipend

Fellows will receive a minimum $4,000 stipend (before withholding tax) and major travel expenses to AJC programming will be covered. Costs of living in placement cities should be taken into consideration by fellows during the selection process.

Who Should Apply?

AJC's Goldman Summer Fellowship Program is open to undergraduate students. Students can come from a broad range of academic backgrounds. Important qualities we look for are excitement to engage the world through a Jewish lens, a passion for making a difference, an interest in exploring American Jewish identity, good ideas, and a willingness to work hard.

Note: Foreign applicants must already have U.S. internship/work visas to be eligible to participate in U.S. locations. AJC does not sponsor visas or permits to work in the United States.
