The Women and Public Policy Internship Program is the only Washington, D.C. internship program devoted exclusively to women and public policy and designed specifically for women students.
PLEN places students in challenging public policy internships with research, government and advocacy organizations, helping them find the internship that best matches their interests and skills. Students receive individualized attention in the placement process and throughout the internship. Students work with and learn from women leaders who are outstanding mentors and role models.
