Global Trade Watch is part of Public Citizen, the national environmental and consumer organization founded by Ralph Nader in 1971. Global Trade Watch monitors Congress and international institutions and fights for trade and other economic policies that promote a healthy environment, consumer protection and government and corporate accountability.

Interns are an integral part of the Global Trade Watch team. A Global Trade Watch internship can include research assistance, assisting with grassroots organizing, media outreach, and working with U.S. and international nongovernmental organizations. Interns are also likely to assist lobbying efforts and attend Congressional hearings. All interns are expected to do administrative support work, but they are generally assigned to specific projects according to their interests and qualifications, and often have the opportunity work closely with staff on these projects. Applicants fluent in Spanish are especially encouraged to apply, as we do a great deal of grassroots work with Spanish-speaking organizations.
