Program Purpose & Parameters
The Ronald Reagan Memorial Internship Program is designed to give the rising generation an experience in a public policy organization fighting for the preservation of Biblical values. We hope to equip those just starting out in life with a rich, real-life work experience alongside Christian experts who have made careers putting their faith into public policy work.
Interns are expected to abide by the corporate policies and standards of Concerned Women for America including dress, business hours and conduct.

Acceptance to the Program
Acceptance to the Internship Program is contingent upon satisfactory completion of our application, a schedule compatible with CWA office hours and needs, qualification within the program parameters and final selection by our committee. We accept about six interns for the summer session each year. We accept spring and fall interns on a case-by-case basis.
Majors & Ages Accepted
We accept interns from any field of study. We also welcome post-graduate interns up to age 26, but the program is not open to pre-college students. Students over age 26 are considered on a case-by-case basis.
Academic Credit
The Ronald Reagan Memorial Internship Program is not an independently accredited program, but students may receive credit from their home institution depending upon their school's policies. CWA is happy to work with your registrar's office to provide information about our program.
Honorarium & Living Expenses
This is an unpaid internship. However, CWA does provide a stipend of $125.00 per week ($25.00 per day of work). Interns are responsible for their own living expenses.

Housing
CWA can recommend several resources in and around the city. We are also available to assist interns in finding affordable housing once they are accepted to the program. However, CWA cannot provide housing.
It is wise to look into your options early in order to be prepared for living costs and housing application deadlines. We recommend exploring your options at the time of application or soon thereafter.

Transportation
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (www.wmata.com). provides a convenient network of bus and subway transportation in the D.C.-metro area that also connects riders with independent bus services in the Maryland and Northern Virginia suburbs. Some Metro stations have parking to making commuting from outside the city easy.
Parking garages located near our office charge $9-13/day. An alternative to Metro is to join an existing car pool in your area.
