My experience at GlobalSolutions.org has been a completely enjoyable one. From a work perspective all of the assignments were fun and challenging. There were a lot of chances to work on projects that actually make a difference. I felt like there was always enough work to do without being overwhelmed. There are opportunities to work on all kinds of aspects of a non-profit organization, and the staff was always willing to lend a hand.
From a personal aspect this has been one of the most fun summers I’ve ever had. The people that work here are all a total joy to be around. The work environment is friendly but with a sense of importance. I’ve made some great friends being here. It’s also great to be in DC. There are a lot of chances to see what we’re doing in action and to visit Capitol Hill and other landmarks.
I highly recommend it to people who are interested in government and how laws are made but I also really recommend it to people who aren’t sure what they want to do but care about issues like the ones that CGS supports. All in all this summer has been a great experience and I would encourage anyone interested to apply.
