Internships: Week of 4/11
Check out this week's 45 new DC-based/remote paid internships!
Howdy! This internship bulletin has reached over 700 subscribers!! Thanks to everyone for spreading the word & sharing this Substack with friends and maybe also foes — I appreciate it a ton. With this milestone broken, I’m also excited to announce a new resource to accompany the Bulletin & Hillternship Hub: Brandon’s DC Internship Housing Guide!!
This guide includes a four step guide on securing housing and why you really don’t need to be shelling out crazy room & board to live at GW, Georgetown, Howard, or AU housing this summer. I’ve specifically linked eight Facebook groups & other key resources to make sure you can figure out housing at ease. This guide is a work in progress though, and expect updates in the coming weeks!
Apologies on the one day delay in the bulletin! Been grinding out job apps and working on final semester stuff (this is my…10th….and final finals season). This week’s bulletin features 45 new internship positions, many of which have deadlines coming up soon for the summer.
Quick plug: I created a Buy Me a Coffee account if you want to support my work by chipping in $3 for a yummy bev (probably an iced coffee or boba while I’m abroad <3). I make the Bulletin + Hillternship Hub in my spare time as a grad student, so any support would be very kind!
It’s going to take all of us to help democratize the progressive internship space, so please share this Bulletin and the Hillternship Hub with 3 friends who are also on the internship grind right now.
Additionally, feel free to leave (anonymous) feedback on the Bulletin or the Hillternship Hub in the feedback form below! Let me know too if you’ve gotten a position from the Bulletin — helpful ancedotal info to know :)
And if this is your first time reading this Bulletin, subscribing means you’ll get this bulletin to your inbox automatically every week.
Let’s dive into this week’s *45* new internships ⬇️

That’s it for this week’s internship bulletin. This week’s self-care tip is to take yourself out on a solo date. Too much in society is rooted in the belief that we have to do with a partner or with a group of people. Going to concerts alone, travelling alone, going to a movie alone, going to a restaurant (from a hole-in-the-wall to a fancy Michelin star place) is worth it! Feel free to bring a book or a journal or honestly just do some people watching and dedicate some time to yourself like you already do for so many other people <3
