National Head Start Association

Government Affairs Intern

May - August 2020 • Alexandria, VA

What I liked

NHSA allowed me to dive in to the world of early childhood advocacy. I got to participate in lots of internal team alignment calls, consultant calls, and help develop research and documents to advance our cause. It was great to see all of the efforts that go in to communicating with Congress and keeping up to date on legislation.

What I wish was different

I had a fantastic experience at NHSA. They allowed me to do a remote internship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I only wish it was under different circumstances so it could have been in person.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions about anything. The NHSA team was so welcoming and I learned so much simply from listening to my colleagues and being inquisitive.
