My internship at the League has been such a learning experience. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The League truly wants to involve and engage its interns by integrating them into meetings and projects. The staff is always willing to answer any questions and there is never a shortage of substantial work. My most rewarding projects involved research on the National Popular Vote and writing a grant report on climate change for Oxfam America. I have acquired valuable skills and met dedicated people along the way!

Interning at the League has been an awesome experience! I got to do a serious research projects on topics like access to Online Voter Registration for young, minority and poor communities, and shady election practices in Georgia, but it was all in the context of a relaxed, fun environment. Everyone at the League made me feel welcome and appreciated, and I was always happy to go to work in the morning. If you aren't into the stuffy, formal setting of Capitol Hill and other government organizations, the League is the way to go!

I chose to intern at the league because I wanted to figure out a career path for myself. As a Psychology major at the George Washington University, I was unsure as to what career I would enter after college. I thought working for a public advocacy group founded in feminist beginnings would be a great place to start because both of those subjects interest me and they were a break away from all the psychology classes I had been taking. I quickly learned that the league is more focused on advocating for minorities, rather than solely for women, and their main areas of interest are voter registration and identification. As a part of the Elections division, I was able to learn more about the redistricting process taking place around the country and work with people who are genuinely invested in making sure every voice is heard. In fact, all of the research I did for the league instilled a sense of civic duty that I was lacking before. It helped me realize where my true interests lie and I am now a Human Services major. I sincerely believe working at the League of Women Voters can be a life changing experience if you go into it with a passion for public advocacy and a desire to learn. I got out of it what I put into it and it truly made a lasting effect on my future.

My internship at the League of Women Voters of the United States was inspiring, informative and enjoyable. The staffs were always helpful, courageous and cheerful. The environment was pleasing and comfortable. The other interns were respectful, amusing and helpful on my projects when I asked them for comment. Working with the League I get the experience of having a professional and a personal side of the staffs. I have learned a great amount of skills while working with the League. I have learned great details of information while doing research projects for the League.
