About us
Thinking about and shaping our world with a human-centered approach. That’s what unites us, and that’s what we work toward—professionally and together. As a community united by a shared worldview, we advocate for the rights of humanistically-minded people. We stand up for democracy, human rights, and self-determination. Get to know us and become one of us.
To support our national office, we are looking for an intern to assist with research, communications, and organizational support.
The internship is offered on a part-time basis. Since most of our team also works part-time, this allows us to ensure reliable professional guidance as well as thorough preparation and follow-up on tasks. The specific number of hours and the duration of the internship are determined by the guidelines of the respective university.

During your internship, depending on current projects and your interests, you’ll support our team with tasks such as:
- Research on sociopolitical, association-related, and historical topics
- the creation and editorial preparation of content for the website, online magazine, and social media
- managing and developing our social media channels, for example, through topic research, editorial planning, and preparing posts
- the editorial maintenance and further development of our websites, such as structuring, formatting, and migrating content
- research and preparatory work for communications projects, such as press relations, public relations, or digital offerings
- the preparation of events and projects
- organizational and administrative tasks in the federal office
- the preparation and—depending on interest—support for events and high-profile occasions
- participating in historical projects, for example by conducting research and, upon agreement, also by performing individual assignments in the archives
The areas of focus you’ll take on during your internship will depend on the projects currently underway, as well as your knowledge and interests.
