The Gilder Lehrman Institute supports two internship cycles each year: academic-year internships and summer internships. While most internships are for college students, there may also be internships for high school and graduate school students. Internships are generally available in a variety of departments, including accounting, curatorial, development, digital, education, and marketing.
Please email internships@gilderlehrman.org if you have questions about our internship program.
“I felt that this internship provided an extremely inclusive environment. Even with the remote internship, I got to work with a wide variety of people who made me a part of the team and who were willing to answer any questions that I had or provide any other help that I required.”
“This is my first internship, but of all my past extracurricular experiences, I have felt most respected at GLI. I appreciated that [the] staff welcomed my suggestions rather than simply expecting me to follow instructions."
“The most valuable part for me was meeting other interns and full-time staff with a shared love of history and non-profit work. Through them, I got a better sense of how I could apply my history major to a career.”
