[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now is a great time to work on any campaign.  Post-election, go on USAjobs and look for internships in the federal government.  Go to your state government site (or other states of interest) and do the same.  Work with faculty on research projects at the university (at W&M, my kid was paid to travel internationally and collect data during the summer based on work done with faculty during the academic year).  Look for fellowships connected to think tanks (though this is often competitive and gotten through connections and can feel like a black hole for applications, sometimes faculty and schools have specialized opportunities/fellowship applications).  Good luck![/quote]

Adding: I was interpreting rising junior as a college student, not a high school student.  If the latter, hold on to this advice for the future :).  [/quote]

+1 I was getting ready to respond and then saw that this might be a 16 year old. My rising sophomore in college is in a similar field and just now being considered for internships in this sphere.

I will say one thing that has come up in his interviews are questions about office experience - of which he has none. He’s worked for years, but it’s been outdoor/physical jobs, not in an office. Maybe look for office experience for your DS. [/quote]
