A word from Washington Mentorship...

"They have been looking high and low for the past three weeks, and most of them have succeeded at finding one.  This week was the finale of those efforts.  This week the Mentorship students went to work.  Freshman interns are rare in the capital city, but it is a requirement for those lucky enough to be in the Washington Mentorship Program. 

The chance to intern your first semester is what makes the WMP.   While it may be stressful to find one, and a challenging work experience, the students are happy at the end of their experience, because it lets them see what kind of work they would truly enjoy doing, and in that respect it helps them plan out their college curriculum.

So while it may be scary and frightening at first, we know that the students in the WMP program will be stronger and more insightful after their internships.  So here's to them.  Good luck this semester!"
