Overview
The supplemental grant helps College to Congress with unanticipated expenses associated with its 2018 summer intern program. C2C is a new nonprofit that creates pathways for students to intern on Capitol Hill who otherwise could not afford to, and has helped successfully change the climate on Capitol Hill for Congress to appropriate funding to pay its interns. The comprehensive C2C program offers leadership training, mentorships, an alumni network, and stipends to cover flights, meals, housing, and a professional wardrobe. Interns are paired with a mentor from another party to demonstrate the power of moving beyond partisan conflict and forging compromise.
