Summer Internship
Women & Public Policy Summer Internship
Internship Dates | May 21 – July 27, 2012
An internship in Washington is the best way to learn how public policy is made 
and whether it’s a career you want.
Through PLEN, you’ll secure an internship directed at your specific interests. PLEN helps you focus on what organizations will give you the best experience, help you develop a resume and land the spot you want, and coach you through the application process.
Once in Washington, you’ll meet at least weekly with PLEN and other PLEN interns to process your experience, expand your contacts by meeting with women leaders, and exchange information and impressions with other interns.
You’ll also participate in PLEN skill-building sessions to begin developing important career-related expertise in areas like networking, job interviewing, and salary negotiations.
Application Deadline EXTENDED February 6, 2012 (postmarked by this date)
Students interested in interning at a government agency should notify PLEN no later than October 14, 2011
