"I want to change the world!"
Does that phrase appeal to you? Do you feel a drive to give back to society in a way that will have an impact on thousands—even millions—of people?
Are you engaged in the political and societal issues facing the world: global warming, genocide, world trade, HIV/AIDS, crime, education, national security, and the rule of law? Working in or around the government is one way to grapple with all of these issues!
There are so many different exciting opportunities, working on Capitol Hill, within a federal, state, or local agency, or for one of the many research institutions that do work on behalf of the government. There are several resources available via this website that you can begin exploring between now and the time we meet.
