The Afghanistan - America Foundation is seeking highly motivated
college and graduate students for full- or part-time internships.

the Afghanistan - America Foundation is a Capitol Hill-based non-profit, non-partisan
organization devoted to facilitating dialogue and education on nation-building
and democratization in Afghanistan, South and Central Asia.

a research and information center as well as a point of liaison
to U.S. policymakers and others concerned about Afghanistan and
the region. In addition, the Foundation is currently in the process

to serve as a guide for policymakers on this critical issue.
