Company Description
The Alliance for American Leadership (A4AL) is a coalition of foreign policy experts and young professionals dedicated to revitalizing American leadership through strategic investments in development. We believe foreign aid strengthens U.S. national security, boosts our economy, and upholds the values that define the postwar international order.
Our members support policy change and elect leaders who stand for international cooperation. We’re seeking Communications Interns to help shape public understanding, drive civic action, and tell stories that matter.
