“WISH provided me with the resources to learn and assisted in my project needed for graduation. I had the ability to sit in on meeting in the offices on Capitol Hill and attend receptions that I would not have been able to otherwise. I believe my WISH internship was instrumental in securing a job when I graduated.”
— Mary L, North Carolina

WiSE Internship Program Rates
The $1,500 program fee provides your student with the WISH team who will work personally with your student to locate, prep, and get that internship opportunity. The team makes sure that school requirements of the internship are completed so credit is granted!

A semester in DC is much less than a semester abroad and does not delay graduation. Call the WISH team so that your students can take advantage of this invaluable opportunity.

 “At WISH I learned essential skills that help me in my current field and in other internships. I learned networking, resume building, and office etiquette. I had the opportunity to meet multiple professionals, interns, elected leaders, and people from companies in a variety of fields from government, journalism to private companies. WISH gave me the chance to make new friends, visit multiple museums and attractions, and create a professional relationship with WISH staff who still help support my future endeavors.”
