Internship Opportunity -- ISAR  Washington, DC
Russia Programs

ISAR is a non-profit organization that supports the growth of the
 non-governmental sector in the countries of the Former Soviet Union.  With
 field offices throughout the FSU and a national office in Washington, DC, our
 mission is to empower grassroots activists to address local social, political,
 and environmental challenges by providing them with grants, training, and other
 forms of technical assistance.

ISAR's Russia program has three offices in the field (in Moscow, Novosibirsk,
 and Vladivostok).  The focus of the intern's work will be research and
 information support to the field programs.
In addition, the intern will provide administrative support under the
 supervision of the Office Manager.

This is an ideal opportunity for a student or recent college graduate, seeking
 to learn about the Russian environmental movement, make contacts in Russia,
 practice his/her Russian language and gain office experience.  Candidates with
 a particular field of study or regional knowledge of Russia (i.e. Siberia or
 the Russia Far East) are especially encouraged to apply.
