Reviews

Management and Program Analyst

August 2019 - August 2020 • Washington, DC

“The internship was good, but I believe it would have been better if it wasn't during a pandemic. I did like the flexibility because I was a full-time student, and having the convenience of being remote made it a lot easier to work full-time. ”

Policy Intern

June 2020 - November 2020 • Washington, DC

“I liked that the work I did was meaningful. I was an intern at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and was given substantial responsibility in curating, analyzing, and exporting information for the general public. I was able to work on multiple projects with employees and interns from various departments. Everyone I worked with was friendly, supportive, open to answer questions, and thoughtfully considered suggestions I made.”
