About Us
Potential must be realized, not simply recognized.
Our Vision
Empowering every learner to secure a better future for themselves and the world around them.
Our Mission
Creating flexible, immersive pathways to enhance the pipeline of diverse talent and build more equitable, inclusive workplaces and communities.
Our Work
The Washington Center provides immersive internships and academic seminars to students from hundreds of colleges and universities and early career professionals from across the U.S. and more than twenty-five countries.
We help students who otherwise may not have the opportunity to pursue their interests, experience what a successful career looks like, and establish a path toward their professional future.
TWC collaborates with more than 600 higher education, corporate, government, foundation and employer partners to run the largest, most established internship program of its kind.
We are an independent, non-partisan, nonprofit organization committed to providing transformative educational experiences to bolster future American pipelines of talent.
Since our founding in 1975, TWC’s global alumni community of nearly 70,000 individuals have gone on to serve the public, private and nonprofit sectors. They hold leadership positions in virtually every career field, including law, education, social work, medicine, journalism, diplomacy, business and politics.
Join us in creating solutions for early career opportunity, more competitive workplaces and stronger communities across the U.S. and around the globe.
