"Thank you for the opportunity to experience firsthand how the legislative process really works. It was a nice immersion into California politics."
- John Kashuba, Office of Assemblyman Steve Knight

"I highly recommend this program to students who want to learn more about policy research and the political operations on a state level."
- Jonathan Ma, Senate Committee on Business, Professions and Economic Development

"Overall, my experience in Sacramento was amazing. I learned a great deal about California politics. I completed a variety of tasks for the office from recommending positions to the Assemblyman on bills to corresponding with constituents. Outside of the office, the experience was just as amazing. Everyone in the program quickly became a tight knit community and we socialized together nearly every evening and weekend."
- Andy Nevis, Office of Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher

"My internship experience was invaluable. Up until this point, I have felt that internships barely help you scratch the surface of day-to-day business in politics. But my internship this summer was incredibly immersive, challenging, and enlightening. Now I have an in-depth understanding of the inner-workings of an incredibly prestigious press shop -- that of the Governor of the 8th largest economy in the world -- and that knowledge is empowering."
- Kyle Simerly, The Press Office of Governor Jerry Brown

"This program is a great opportunity for students to express what they are passionate about and to network."
- Anna Situ, Department of Managed Health Care

"I would definitely recommend this program to other students, especially students who might not necessarily think of applying since they are not Political Science majors and/or do not plan on going into government. I was in that category, yet I was able to learn a lot about the public sector and general policy arenas that I am interested in pursuing. I also made a lot of great connections that could be useful as I make my way into the working world."
- Brittany Williams, Cal EPA

Here is what some of their supervisors said about our students:

"I gave him projects that were complex. He took ownership of them and finalized the projects in a more professional manner than I have seen with any other intern."

"My standards are high, and she has met them or exceeded them in all of the projects given to her over the course of her internship with our office."

"His ability to think outside the box showcases the enthusiasm, charisma and determination he carries when approaching each task."
