<p>I'm a current HS junior looking for summer internships or programs in International Relations type stuff. I live in the DC area (should make it easy, right?) but everything im finding is for college students. I'm trying to do something that demonstrates academic interest outside of school (and all that good junk). Anyone have any suggestions for IR stuff (or related, like history, economics, politics) for stuff in the DC area or beyond? Or is this something that can only really come during college?</p>
<p>If you're serious about getting an internship, research think tanks and other agencies/organizations you'd be interested in working with and send them your resume. As a hs student, you're probably looking at an unpaid position. Even some college students and college grads can't get paid internships in DC.</p>
