The Washington Center

The Washington Center is an educational nonprofit organization that organizes internships in Washington, D.C. for selected students for academic credit. Three components comprise the experience: an internship, an academic course, and a leadership forum. More than 33,000 alumni have gone through the program since its founding in 1975.
