The Make Room Mentorship Program seeks young professionals, students, and recent graduates with less than five years of relevant work experience (excluding military service) who are interested in learning about and working in the national security and foreign policy space. We are seeking individuals across the country, with diverse backgrounds in thought and education, to participate in our Spring 2025 cohort.
Applicants selected to join the program will be paired with an experienced national security professional who best meets their specific mentorship needs. Programming will run from January to June, 2025, with virtual and in-person events throughout. This is a unique opportunity for young professionals within and outside of Washington, D.C., to receive guidance from individuals with experience in government, think tanks, the private sector, and other relevant industries.
Throughout the mentorship program, Make Room will organize networking sessions and a professional development workshop for all participants, in addition to guidance on how to navigate networking opportunities and best practices for the most rewarding mentorship experience.
In line with the Make Room Initiative's purpose, we are especially seeking individuals with a demonstrated commitment to a diverse and inclusive national security workforce.
Please note that applications will be accepted until 11:59 PM EST on Sunday, October 27, 2024. Decisions will be conveyed to all applicants by the end of January 2025.
