Washington, September 23, 2024 - The Center for a New American Security (CNAS) is now accepting applications for the Spring 2025 Cohort of the Make Room Mentorship Program.

This program seeks young professionals, students, and recent graduates with less than five years of relevant work experience (excluding military service) who are interested in learning about and working in the national security and foreign policy space. We are seeking individuals across the country, with diverse backgrounds in thought and education, to participate in our Spring 2025 cohort.

Applicants selected to join the Make Room Mentorship Program will be paired with an experienced national security professional who best meets their specific mentorship needs. Programming will run from January through June 2025, with virtual and in-person events throughout. This is a unique opportunity for young professionals within and outside of Washington, D.C., to receive guidance from individuals with experience in government, think tanks, the private sector, and other relevant industries.

Applications are due on Sunday, October 27 by 11:59pm ET.
