Memorial Internships
CWA Intern Program
CWA’s Ronald Reagan Memorial Internship Program is designed to give the next generation of female leaders experience in Biblically rooted public policy work.
Interns develop real work experience through hands-on training, professional development, and intentional spiritual investment. Interns are given an inside look into non-profit policy work and contribute valuable efforts and insights to the organization. By offering internships in six different departments, interns are given the opportunity to utilize their specific skills and passions.

From media events to time spent on Capitol Hill, interns are given a well-rounded and exciting experience in D.C.

Please see the application for further detail on each specific department.
Acceptance to the Ronald Reagan Memorial Internship Program is contingent upon satisfactory completion of our application, a schedule compatible with CWA office hours and needs, qualification within the program parameters, and final selection by our committee.

Majors and Ages Accepted
CWA accepts interns from a variety of majors. We also welcome post-graduate interns up to age 26.
The Ronald Reagan Memorial Internship Program is not an independently accredited program, but students may receive credit from their home institution depending on school policy. CWA is happy to work with your registrar’s office to provide program information.
Housing and Transportation
CWA has arranged a partnership with the Heritage Foundation for CWA’s interns to share an apartment in the E.W.Richardson Intern Building. The Richardson is conveniently located on Capitol Hill and a 5-minute walk to the Union Station Metro. Interns are responsible to cover housing fees and transportation costs for the duration of the internship.
Interns are responsible for their own transportation to and from CWA’s national office each day. CWA’s headquarters is located in Alexandria, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C., and is within walking distance of the Braddock Road Metro stop. We also have a few free parking spots at our headquarters that will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Carpooling with other CWA interns is also an option.
