Reviews

Disability Justice Initiative Intern

May 2019 - August 2019 Washington, DC
“Great program structure, lots of built-in learning. An incredible opportunity to be surrounded by other youth with disabilities all in DC to achieve change.”

Summer Intern

June 2018 - August 2018 Washington, DC
“I liked the networking opportunities I had with prominent figures in the disability community. I liked that I didn't have to worry about where I was going to intern because AAPD placed me at an organization based on my interests. Also, I appreciated that they provided housing at GW.”
