The Civil War Trust, America's largest battlefield preservation organization, provides students interested in history and conservation with opportunities few groups can match.  If you have a passion for the American Civil War, Civil War Trust is the place you’ll want to be.

The Civil War Trust offers paid internships on both a full and part time basis.  Typically we are flexible enough to accommodate students and their busy schedules.

Interns will get hands-on experience working on a variety of projects for a leading nonprofit organization. Because the Civil War Trust has a small office, interns will have the benefit of taking on meaningful projects.

Depending on interest or aptitude, an intern might engage in any number of the activities at the Civil War Trust:  developing content for our organization's website and our quarterly magazine, developing land acquisition applications,  maintaining public relations resources, conducting donor research,  or researching Civil War educational topics.

In order to help us evaluate appropriate internship matches, applicants should indicate their areas of experience and the types of skills they hope develop over the course of their tenure with the Civil War Trust.

To apply, please send your cover letter specifying availability and interests, résumé, and two brief writing samples (no more than five pages each, excerpts from larger works is fine) to:

Intern Coordinator
