Intern with ETAN
Organize for Justice!
The East Timor & Indonesia Action Network (ETAN) is seeking interns.
Work for human rights and justice!
What is ETAN?
For 20 years, ETAN has worked in solidarity with the peoples of East Timor (Timor-
Leste) and Indonesia. ETAN advocates justice for past rights violations, genuine self-
determination for East Timor, and democratic reconstruction of one of the world’s newest
nations. ETAN supports human rights and democracy in Indonesia. Current projects
include campaigning for justice for past human rights crimes, working to oppose military
assistance to Indonesia, and monitoring the human rights situation in both countries. ETAN
also pays close attention to events in West Papua.
What do ETAN interns do?
ETAN interns actively assist the movement for justice in solidarity with the peoples of
Indonesia and Timor-Leste (East Timor).
ETAN interns gain experience, skills and knowledge in the areas of
policy and political advocacy, international politics, writing, editing,
media, fundraising, and organizing.
We are small office, so intern responsibilities will be varied
depending on your skills and interests. These responsibilities can
include research, writing and editing; maintaining and building
relations with the media, other organizations and grassroots
activists; administrative tasks; and monitoring and analyzing news and developments in Indonesia and East
Timor. Interns also participate in educating Congress and other decision-makers, fundraising, organizing
events, and other necessary tasks. Interns will help maintain and expand ETAN’s presence in social media
and the internet.
Interns work in Brooklyn, although it may be possible for especially motivated interns to work from
elsewhere.
Compensation
While ETAN can not pay interns, we can work with your school program for credit. We may also be able to
reimburse internship-related expenses.
