The Leadership Council for Women in National Security was formed by a group of women who hold senior positions in national security. LCWIN works to improve national security by supporting women in their pursuit of national security careers and ensuring that the space they enter is one of equal opportunity. They have both an internship and fellowship program in place for the summer. Both are paid, expected to be conducted remotely from the eastern time zone.
The deadline to apply for either opportunity is April 1, 2021.
