My Experience at CGS

My experience at Citizens for Global Solutions was definitely an educational one. Discovering how a non-profit works and conducts itself has changed the way I see how laws and regulations are passed through government.

While at CGS, I had the freedom to choose what I wanted to focus on. The atmosphere within the office was very supportive and allowed me to feel free to go about my business as usual while contributing to our causes. Staff members were always encouraging me to attend Congressional hearings or think tank discussions, an opportunity of which I took full advantage and thus gained considerable knowledge on how Washington D.C. and politics works.

During my time here at CGS, my topic of choice was Climate Change. It is something that has always been a concern of mine and when the subject was available for updating, due to the upcoming Copenhagen meetings this December, I took the chance to do as much research as I could on the topic. This, in turn, helped not only our cause, but allowed me to walk away from this experience more educated and passionate than ever before.

The staff at the office are friendly and always willing to help. Each person at CGS seems to truly want to make a change in the world and are obviously trying to do something about it.
