    We need to do a better job of funding internships. It seems unreasonable to expect anyone to work full time in NYC for any length of time for $0. It devalues our profession.

      It is amazing. Moreover, it would seem to severely limit the potential pool of applicants.

    Let's do a fundraiser and donate a set of camping gears for the intern to camp out by the East River. I heard East River is nice this time of year.

    This is a general UN policy. NO internship with the UN is paid.

      If only there was some resource that could raise a systemic policy issue that has adverse impacts on people and underlying organizational goals.

    Law schools historically offer a stipend for this kind of work, and other graduate programs as well. I may be wrong but I believe the UN generally does not pay interns.
