Internship Location: Madison WI
Organization Type: Nonprofit
Policy Areas: Civic Engagement, Voting and Elections
While doing the Fair Elections Center’s Work Elections internship I learned more about how elections are administered and the issues people face while trying to vote. I grew my professional communication and interpersonal skills while representing the FEC in my community. I would definitely recommend this internship to other students. The FEC is a great organization that does important work, and all of the supervisors are great people with helpful resources and experience. I appreciated the opportunity to connect with students across the state and country, but my favorite part of this experience was working in my community. It was very rewarding to see the results of my work during the election cycle. Through this internship, I gained valuable contacts and learned about different ways people can support the same goal.
