France plays a large role in solving humanitarian, environmental and political issues, and our philosophy of customizing programs for each student means that you can intern in areas that interest you! Interns have helped by starting education initiatives, researching for think tanks and organizing events to promote their NGO!

Highlights

For many, a short vacation to Paris fulfills a lifelong dream. Your internship in Paris will allow you to live, work, and experience this internationally renowned metropolis as more than just a tourist. Travel guides for Paris boast numerous museums, major historical sites and of course, famous restaurants. No visit to Paris would be complete without a trip to the iconic Louvre Museum, a stroll down the Champs-Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe, and a gastronomic experience in one of Paris' 9,000 restaurants. In terms of recognizable landmarks, Paris is unrivaled in quantity and quality. Did we mention the Eiffel Tower, Seine River and Notre Dame? Being such an iconic city, you can count on always being at the center of every major festival and event offered throughout the year. In summer you can experience La Fete de la Musique and Bastille day, in the Fall you can check out La Nuit Blanche, and partake in various other events throughout the year such as La Nuit des Musees, Le Cinema en Plein Air, Techno Parade, Paris sur Glace and lots more!

Adventuresome interns will be in the heart of Europe, a mere overnight train ride away from stellar weekend getaways to other great areas of France, as well as Barcelona, London, Prague, Florence and much more. No matter the time of year, there is plenty to be done in France, summer visitors can rejoice in the sun of the Mediterranean Sea and parouse around the French Riviera and winter visitors will have some of the worlds finest snowy destinations at their ski-tips, including the city of Chamonix which sits at the base of majestic Mont Blanc (Europe's highest peak).
