  Interning with the Japan-America Society of Washington DC is a great opportunity to gain skills, experience, and contacts in the world of US-Japan culture exchange and policy. 

  During your internship you will have the opportunity to interact with American and Japanese members of the cultural, business, and policy communities, and gain hands-on experience managing the Society’s programs and events! An internship with JASWDC will help you develop skills that will assist in your future career, and will connect you with mentors in the US-Japan community to help guide you on your journey.

  Internships with the Society are available to a limited number of undergraduate and graduate students as well as recent graduates each throughout the year. Internships are unpaid positions. Depending on the university’s internship program, credit is sometimes offered. Interns must pledge to work a minimum of three full days a week for a period of no less than eight weeks.

  In all internship applications we look for:

  • Good oral and written communication skills and a motivated attitude
  • Academic concentration in Japanese and/or Asian Studies; Japanese Society and Culture; International Business and Finance; International Affairs; Management; or Business and Public Administration
  • Knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint) is required; knowledge of specialized software programs such as CRM systems and Adobe Creative Cloud, etc. is desirable
  • Prior work or volunteer experience, including in managing student activities and events
  • Competent Japanese language skills are desirable but not essential

• Board of Trustees Membership FY25

  Register

  

  According to JASWDC Bylaws, all active trustees must be individual members of the Society. Therefore, active trustees who are not otherwise members through a corporate membership are requested to enroll/renew their individual membership by way of “registering” and rendering payment through this once-annual campaign, covering the July ’24-August ’25 fiscal year. We recommend that BOT members enroll/renew at the Tsutsuji ($250) or Kiku ($1500) levels. However, payments are welcome at all levels of individual membership, and the Society will be pleased to extend membership benefits upon request, at the membership level commensurate with the contribution.

  Non-trustees (such as honorary and emeritus positions, advisers, and counselors) are invited to participate in this campaign, but participation is not otherwise required.

  Please enroll by clicking the “Register” link on this page, then choose your level of membership.
