The posting

Thank you for your interest in interning at the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC). Interns contribute substantially to the work of ICMEC, and ICMEC’s staff work closely with interns to make the experience as rewarding as possible.

The International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) is a private, nonprofit organization established more than 25 years ago. ICMEC is headquartered in the United States, with formal representation in numerous countries around the globe. ICMEC works to make the world a safer place for children by defending against child sexual exploitation, abuse, and the risk of going missing. ICMEC works with partners around the world to develop research, technologies, and educational resources to aid in the search and recovery of children who are missing, fight child sexual exploitation and empower caring professionals, institutions, and communities to safeguard children from all forms of sexual abuse.

The Koons Family Institute on International Law & Policy (The Koons Family Institute) is ICMEC’s in-house research arm. The Koons Family Institute defends children against sexual exploitation, abuse, or risk of going missing on multiple fronts by conducting and commissioning original research into the status of child protection laws around the world, creating replicable legal tools, promoting best practices, bringing together great thinkers and opinion leaders, and collaborating with partners to identify and measure threats to children and ways ICMEC can advocate change.

Our Mission ICMEC envisions a world where children can grow up safe from exploitation, abuse, or the risk of going missing. We believe every child deserves a safe childhood. ICMEC’s mission is to advance child protection and safeguard vulnerable children around the world.

We do this by:

  • building and improving systems to prevent and respond to cases of missing children, child sexual exploitation, or abuse;
  • advocating for enhanced laws and policies;
  • mobilizing industries to secure their technologies and platforms from becoming vehicles for abuse and exploitation;
  • providing tools and training for criminal justice professionals to effectively investigate and prosecute cases of exploitation, abuse or children who are missing;
  • safeguarding school environments; and
  • empowering healthcare professionals to recognize and respond to child abuse and exploitation cases.

As the workload of ICMEC continues to grow and resources are stretched, the contributions of interns are extremely important. ICMEC interns who share the same belief in our goals help to make the success stories happen. ICMEC offers full‐ and part‐time internships each academic semester. Successful applicants will be highly motivated, detail-oriented, independent students with a passion for public interest work.

*We are now accepting applications for the Fall 2025 intern class.

Interns specific projects may include engaging with policy experts within the technology industry and contributing to important discussions surrounding digital safety for children; reviewing global laws and regulations related to age verification and analyzing age verification measures across various countries to identify trends, best practices, and gaps in policy; and summarizing findings into briefs and reports that highlight trends, key insights, and provide policy recommendations for enhancing age verification processes. Interns also may utilize foreign language skills and regional areas of expertise.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
