I loved that everyone was so kind. They all genuinely want to help you learn and do better.
What I wish was different
I wish I knew what a campaign consisted of before I came to the internship because it would have helped me know what department I liked best.
Advice
One piece of advice I would share with others is that they should try to work in every department so you can gain experience from everyone in the office.

Policy Intern
June - August 2019 • Washington, DC
What I liked
The people, it’s a fun working environment with a young group and everyone is committed to same goals. There is so much turnover it is easy to find employees who aren’t super experienced to get to know and learn about the org together.
What I wish was different
More variety of work. Most tasks were very menial until late in the internship. I was there in a non election year so people outnumber work, this won’t be true in an election year.
Advice
Ask for work, ask everyone. These people are going to scatter to all sorts of campaigns and offices and the connections you make are very useful.
