At ICF we make big things happen.  

 

Let’s work together to help disaster impacted communities recover and re-build for future resilience. ICF’s growing Disaster Management division seeks interns to support our project activities. As an intern, you will provide support to specific recovery projects and functions for the Division. You will also work alongside project teams, helping state and local clients administer United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and United States Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funded programs.  You will be exposed to a wide variety of experts across the firm including those who address issues related to infrastructure, disaster planning and recovery, financial literacy, energy efficiency, green building, and job training.  This is an outstanding opportunity to work with talented and passionate individuals and to grow with a firm that believes in nurturing talent and developing long-term career success.   

 
Our 2024 Summer Internship is a 10-week, full-time program that generally begins in early June and concludes in mid-August. The internship will be hybrid (at least two days per week in office) from either Austin, TX., Tallahassee, FL. Remote and/or hybrid may be considered from other Florida locations.
