Twice a year, in spring and autumn, we offer internships. We are also frequently looking for volunteers, for example for our annual Africa Day.
We currently have no vacancies open.

Did internship in 2025
During my internship at FMS, I was able to learn an enormous amount. From writing articles to organising political cafes, everything was covered. As an intern at FMS, you are really part of the team and get involved in everything. As a result, you gain a lot of work experience. Because I was given a lot of freedom in my work at FMS, I now know better where my interests lie!

My internship at the FMS has given me an enormous amount of knowledge and experience in a relatively short time. From writing and publishing articles to valuable experience in organising events. At work, I was given plenty of space to contribute personal ideas and was also well supported and trusted with every task. The team at FMS clearly has heart, is motivated and welcomes you with open arms!

At the FMS, as an intern, you are fully included in the work and supervised incredibly well. As a result, you not only learn a lot, but you also hardly feel like 'just' an intern. You are given many responsibilities and can work independently. Especially as a change from studying, this internship is highly recommended. You get a lot of practical experience and learn how to apply knowledge!

I have learned an enormous amount at the FMS! You are included in the organisation from day one, are given a lot of responsibility, with good support, and there is a lot of freedom to immerse yourself in topics and areas you find important and interesting. You are close to politics so no day is the same. In addition, this team makes you feel right at home!

Did internship in 2023/2024
I learnt an awful lot during my FMS internship. On the one hand, you gain an enormous amount of knowledge about the countries we work in. On the other hand, you also learn a lot on a practical level. You are given a lot of freedom to come up with your own ideas and develop in areas you consider important. You are fully part of the team because of the pleasant cooperation and good atmosphere.

The FMS is a smooth and super motivating working environment, but also very sociable. This internship is a great opportunity to learn a lot in terms of content and practically about development cooperation and the development work of the FMS. I felt involved and taken seriously, which made me feel at ease and enabled me to learn a lot.
