Mentor Resources

The Washington Center highly values its relationship with internship supervisors and mentors. Its goal is to continue investing in and developing these relationships for the mutual benefit of students, the internship sites and the organization. Available resources include an Internship Site Handbook, New Supervisor Orientation, the Internship Sites Newsletter and a staff readily available to assist as needed.

Internship Supervisor Advisory CommitteeTWC’s Internship Supervisor Advisory Committee was formed to engage a committed and thoughtful group of site supervisors in planning additional services and outreach options for all the internship sites that affiliate with The Washington Center. In conjunction with the staff at TWC, this group serves as a sounding board, advisory group, and planning committee.
