Option: Summer UCDC
The UCDC Summer Internship Program strives to promote a sense of civic responsibility in students by encouraging them to take an active part in public service. While in D.C., student interns become directly involved in each organization’s goals and objectives, and may perform such tasks as project research, responding to constituent concerns, attend hearings, direct investigations, and program development. Interns live in the UC Washington Center in the heart of D.C. and have direct access to the country’s best form of public transportation. There are numerous internship opportunities in various industries such as non-profit public service organizations, governmental agencies, communications and entertainment.
