An initiative of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, managed by UN OCHA, the first World Humanitarian Summit will bring together governments, humanitarian organizations, people affected by humanitarian crises and new partners including the private sector to propose solutions to our most pressing challenges and set an agenda to keep humanitarian action fit for the future.
The World Humanitarian Summit secretariat is looking for a dynamic and independent graphic design intern to support our communications team for the summer.

The graphic design intern will assist the communications team in developing a broad range of communications materials for print and digital media, while gaining a once-in-a-lifetime experience to work at United Nations Headquarters.
