AIFS Abroad Internships in New York City, United States

My experience with AIFS Abroad during my internship in New York City was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, the program was well-organized, professionally run, and filled with meaningful opportunities for personal and professional growth. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the incredible support I received from Samia. Samia went above and beyond at every step of the journey. Whether it was answering late-night questions, helping me navigate the city, or just checking in to make sure everything was going well, she was always there. I especially want to highlight how much she helped me when my return flight was unexpectedly canceled ,in a moment of stress and uncertainty, Samia stepped in and helped me find emergency accommodations. That kind of care and responsiveness made all the difference, and I’ll always be grateful for her kindness, quick thinking, and genuine warmth. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone looking to intern in New York City. Not only will you gain invaluable experience, but you’ll also be supported by people like Samia who truly care

My internship with AIFS was a dream come true. I had the privilege to work with Wing and Weft, an independent glove shop in the Garment District. It has been my dream to work in Times Square since I was a kid, so I was thrilled to be able to walk through the chaotic streets every day! I was able to strengthen my artistic, professional and social skills, along with being my authentic self each and every day.

I really enjoyed working at The Actors Theatre Workshop. I became really good friends with the other interns and we often hung out outside of work. However, what put a damper on my experience were my managers, they were often condescending towards myself and the other interns when giving instructions, and got mad at myself and the other interns for socializing. I really enjoyed my time with them and got amazing experience that I will value forever. They are a good company.
