You
Want To Intern in DC - Now What?
You may
have already decided you would like to intern in Washington,
DC for the summer, but you might need some help on where to
start. It can seem overwhelming to try to find an internship
and housing for the summer, while taking classes and participating
in other extracurricular activities at Rutgers. However, we
are here to assist you every step along the way.
The Rutgers-In-Washington Program has created a "Guide
to Internships & Housing" to be used as a supplement
to your internship and housing search. Remember, this guide
can provide you with many helpful hints, but does not necessarily
provide you with all available options. Many of the following
organizations and programs have two websites listed under
them. Check out the first one to find out some general information
about that specific organization. If you are interested and
want to look further, the second website listed will take
you directly to that organization's internship opportunities.
