Fellowship Program
The Buzz on the Fellows Program
“I would recommend this fellowship... Absolutely. Working here gives the chance to teach skills that you can't learn in school. Everyone is extremely nice and more than willing to explain how or why we do what we do. They genuinely want to see the fellows succeed.”
— Elise Lampert, Fellow, Austin, TX, Summer 2009
“Without a doubt I would recommend that any of my friends (both Republicans & Democrats) apply for the fellowship program at Public Strategies. Coming into my first day incredibly nervous and unsure, I was warmly welcomed into a great working atmosphere. But not only was the atmosphere and workplace environment a positive experience, the work assigned was dynamic and interesting.”
— David Boyajian, Fellow, Washington, DC, Summer 2009
