"My GPF internship was a dynamic learning experience (and great fun too!) The team of qualified, passionate people from all over the world made for a stimulating work environment. There were also many opportunities to experience the policymaking process firsthand and to engage with academics, practitioners and UN officials through GPF's intern luncheon series."

"Working at Global Policy Forum has been an incredible experience! There is no better place to learn about the UN and international policy-making processes. I left GPF so much more aware of global issues and made a lot of great friends along the way."

"GPF shows faith in you and your abilities by trusting you with great responsibility. I took ownership of my portfolios; and researched and analyzed the concerned issues in detail. It was a tremendous learning experience for me. With this internship program, the interns and GPF bloom together."

“My internship at GPF has been a formative life experience. I have learnt about how the UN and the NGO community operate, and how they interact. The people I met and the things I did during my time at GPF helped me understand what I want to do with my life, and how I can achieve my goals. I will be entering my MA – and everything that comes after – with a much stronger sense of purpose and focus then I had before.”
