The Global Internship Program is divided into three terms: spring, summer, and fall. We offer internship opportunities located both domestically at our international headquarters in Boone, North Carolina, and internationally at our international field offices and affiliate offices. The summer internship term includes both domestic and international opportunities. The fall and spring terms offer international opportunities only. Also, some domestic opportunities for the summer term may be based in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.
