CBI, since its inception, has been committed to advancing the next generation of public sector mediators and facilitators. We provide interns with the opportunity to learn about our field, engage in meaningful work with convenors and stakeholders, and gain valuable experience in a fast-paced, high-quality, collegial work environment. We provide one internship per semester and in the summer for highly qualified candidates. The internship is geared especially toward graduate students, although exceptional undergraduates may also apply. Graduate students in the past have come from public policy, public health, law, natural resources, planning, conflict resolution, and other graduate programs. CBI interns' experiences vary depending on projects and staff needs during their time, but this role includes background research for projects, assistance with meeting summaries, logistics support for in-person and virtual meetings, and a range of other work with junior and senior staff. CBI interns do not facilitate meetings, they provide support, and this work introduces them to the field of consensus building and collaboration with seasoned staff and stakeholders. This is a paid internship, and for the fall and spring semesters, interns will work fifteen hours (15) per week for fifteen (15) weeks. For the summer term, interns will work half time or full time, up to twelve (12) weeks. CBI also encourages cost-sharing with academic institutions and programs. CBI is committed to growing the field of consensus building. As part of this commitment, we seek to expand the field in terms of diversity. We thus strongly encourage applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, age, or sexual orientation.
