Internship Program 

The Institute for Global Jewish Affairs, a program of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA), offers non-paid internship positions throughout the year. The JCPA, an independent institute for policy research, was established in 1976 by Professor Daniel Elazar and is now headed by Israel's former UN ambassador Dr. Dore Gold. The Jerusalem Center is a growing and evolving institution and intern research assistants are important to this development. Interns bring their own expertise and insight to the research, providing the center with a valuable resource. At the same time, the intern gains from the environment created at the JCPA.
