AMBASSADORS
Ambassador Program
Answer the Call’s student Ambassadors are some of the most important people on our team. They connect us with their campuses and help us host events, liaise with faculty and administrators, and advise our organization's leadership.
In exchange, they receive advanced leadership training, networking and professional development opportunities, and are first in line for our Intern, Scholar, and Fellow Programs, which include generous financial support and housing in Washington, D.C.
INTERNS
Summer Internship Program
Available to All-Star Ambassadors entering their sophomore, junior, or senior year, our Summer Internship Program is a great opportunity to work alongside our team in Washington, D.C.
Interns receive a generous stipend, housing, and the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, including event production, program planning, policy research, and communications and marketing initiatives.
Even better? Answer the Call Interns are paid as if they are full-time, but they only work in our offices from Monday through Wednesday. This allows our interns to maximize their time in Washington, D.C. by pursuing volunteer opportunities, professional programs, and/or part-time professional positions with government offices or non-profit entities.
FELLOWS
Fellow Program
Open to Answer the Call Ambassadors with a proven track record of success, the Fellow Program is a year-round opportunity that helps clear many of the logistical challenges associated with taking on an internship focused on public service, public policy, or a related field.
Through the AtC Fellow Program, qualified Ambassadors are eligible for financial assistance that can be used toward housing, supplemental income, transportation, and other costs associated with pursuing an unpaid or underpaid internship.
SCHOLARS
Scholar Program
For former interns or graduating All-Star Ambassadors looking for a unique challenge, the Scholar Program offers the opportunity to jumpstart your public service career by supporting Answer the Call’s mission while working alongside our team in D.C.
This program provides a unique opportunity for recent graduates to gain valuable skills while pursuing full-time employment in Washington, D.C.
