Clinton Foundation Employment Opportunities

Thank you for your interest in the William J. Clinton Foundation. Our programs are focused on four main areas of work: Health Security, Economic Empowerment, Leadership Development and Citizen Service, and Racial, Ethnic and Religious Reconciliation.

While we employ a relatively small staff to work towards our goals, the Clinton Foundation does offer limited employment opportunities from time-to-time to exceptional candidates with experience and education directly related to our programs.
