An opportunity for a break from college—away from the grind of tests, papers, all nighters, and the stress of figuring out life—can tempt many students to plan carefree trips focused entirely on fun.

We believe that one of the best decisions you can make in your college years is to invest your spring, summer, or winter break in a time of service, learning, and building community.

With every hour of their time, volunteers multiply their impact through the enormous power of advocacy — whether it’s helping change policy to support millions of families putting food on the table or helping raise billions of dollars for the world’s most vulnerable children. Backed by the in-depth research and legislative expertise of staff, RESULTS advocates realize the incredible power they possess to use their voices to change the world.

The Public Leadership Education Network (PLEN) is the only national organization [nonpartisan 501(c)(3)] with the sole focus of preparing college women and marginalized gender groups for leadership in the public policy arena. PLEN’s mission is to empower, educate, and engage women and marginalized gender groups in public policy to promote diverse, inclusive leadership in policy making. PLEN was created to educate women for public leadership because they were, and are still, disadvantaged as a result of their gender. By expanding our mission to include people of all marginalized genders, we continue our work to break down gender-based barriers and diversify the field of public policy, which is traditionally dominated by cis-men.

The mission of the Washington Internship Institute is to foster students' intellectual, personal, and professional development through individually tailored, quality internships and challenging academic coursework that take full advantage of the opportunities available in the nation's capital and reflect the best practices of experiential learning and liberal education. In our program, students intern four days out of the week and take two classes related to politics, policy, and career skills. During the fall and spring semesters, typically students earn a full semester's worth of credit from their schools and have their financial aid travel with them--meaning that they pay no more than they normally do to go to their school. We also have a ten-week summer term available. We work with students from all majors who intern in a variety of placements in government, nonprofit organizations, lobbying groups, and think tanks.

We also know from research that solutions stories can change the tone of public discourse, making it less divisive and more constructive. By revealing what has worked, such stories have led to meaningful change.Their mission is to transform journalism so that all people have access to news that helps them envision and build a more equitable and sustainable world.
