Internships

Thank you for your interest in the Public Leadership Education Network! PLEN offers a Communications Internship, Program Assistant Internship, or Development Internship during the Fall, Spring, and Summer Semesters. 

Our goal is for our interns to learn more about public policy and working at a nonprofit. Our interns have the opportunity to learn new skills by working on many exciting projects. We encourage our interns to attend the many seminars, lectures, and other events that Washington, D.C. has to offer, in addition to PLEN seminars and events. Internships are available to students of all genders.

B.A. Women's Alliance Internship Fund

Thank to the generous donation of the B.A. Women's Alliance in 2022, PLEN has created the The B.A. Women’s Alliance Internship Fund in order to continue the mission and values of B.A. Rudolph. This internship fund will ensure that all of PLEN’s internships are paid, thereby providing an equitable opportunity for students to develop the professional connections and skills needed for their career.
