Testimonials
The spring flew by as I prepared voter guides, analyzed AI usage in educational settings, drafted testimony in support of local legislation, and coordinated the Unto Every Person Holocaust Remembrance Project with over 60 elected officials, among other projects. I'm incredibly grateful to the whole team for the opportunities they provided me and for fostering such a warm, welcoming, and enriching environment from day one.

JCRC Intern
As an alum of Student to Student, It was an honor to work on this dynamic program to educate and combat antisemitism in all forms. This experience along with the other opportunities in various departments enabled me to learn about JCRC and the important role is plays for both the Jewish community and the Greater Washington community.

Intern, Student to Student
It is rare to wake up feeling excited to go to work, but JCRC’s staff made me feel welcome from day one. I felt as if I were truly part of the team and loved seeing my research transform into resource guides,one-pagers, etc. We were also offered something very unique to the JCRC internship experiences: site visits. I enjoyed getting a nice “break” from my typical daily activities while still learning the direct impact JCRC has on the surrounding community.
