What our interns say:

"Atlas Network taught me the art of mission-focused collaboration, cementing my desire to work in a similar style throughout my career. My experience has been both fun and a great boost to my writing, designing, and ideating skills. Atlas Network has a growth mindset; I was blown away by how willing people were to hear out my ideas even as an intern! If you're keen on backing the global freedom movement, forming strong connections, and improving your resume, this is the internship for you!" Emily Hooke, Marketing and Communications

“Atlas Network is not another “think tank” nor is the internship just another internship. The team cares about you and what projects and passions you want to pursue. I interned with the Institute Relations team and this internship single-handedly helped determine my future career. I had the opportunity to work all across all of the teams at Atlas Network to determine which type of tasks I enjoy the most, and found a passion towards development. You get to grow and actually feel like you are doing important work. The networking opportunities are unmatched as well.” Abdulrahman Sarsour, Institute Relations
