We are an international educational and professional development organization whose mission is to use lessons of history to challenge teachers and their students to stand up to bigotry and hate.
By studying the historical development of the Holocaust and other examples of genocide, students make the essential connection between history and the moral choices they confront in their own lives.
Facing History is an equal opportunity employer. Our strength as an organization is directly tied to the diversity of our staff, leadership, educators, students, scholars, and volunteers.
We are committed to treating individuals with respect, and to building and maintaining a community of full participation that values and promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We welcome to our community those with diverse perspectives who share our vision of a world marked by knowledge and compassion, not bigotry and hate, and our belief that complex, often difficult conversations are at the heart of a thriving democracy.
We navigate conversations that acknowledge biases and build relationships across differences. We recognize the need to understand the varied impacts of colonization throughout the world and acknowledge the value of justice, reconciliation, and cultural resurgence for all humanity.

Internships at Facing History and Ourselves are typically a mixture of core projects and administrative support. Interns are paired with direct supervisors and the intern is assigned projects based on the need of Facing History and the individual supervisor. There are a variety of projects that should align with the intern’s interests. Across the board, strong learning opportunities are provided that expose participants to Facing History content and teaching approach.
The summer internship typically runs for 8-9 weeks starting in early June through mid August. We provide orientation, regular check-ins, an opportunity to connect with other Interns, participation in staff meetings and social events, exposure to our core work, and access to our resources. At the end of the summer we have a small gathering to present on the projects completed over the summer.
The number of internships offered, the length (part time to full time), and specific assignments will vary depending on organizational needs and an intern’s availability. Internships are generally unpaid.
