TESTIMONIALS

FROM FOUNDATION INTERSHIP RECEPIENTS

"At Evinco we believe that representation in politics goes beyond candidates and elected officials – it must include the staff doing much of day to day work of democracy. That’s why our intern program means so much to us and why we jump at the opportunity to partner with AAPC to ensure young people like Madeliene and Nadya get a well-rounded, holistic view of campaigns and are prepared to enter the political industry and demand a seat at the table.”

"My time at Evinco has been nothing short of invaluable. Each team member had a real interest in helping me learn the ins and outs of a consulting company. It is clear that Evinco really cares about the internship program by making sure all of the interns are equipped with the necessary skills going into the professional world. I felt so valued at the internship and I can’t thank the employees at Evinco enough for all of their shared knowledge and welcoming attitudes.”

Madeleine Turner
Intern

"Because of the AAPC Foundation internship, I was able to work alongside the amazing political consultants at Upper Left Strategies. The team was very receptive to my ideas and always accessible when I needed help. I learned a lot about what it takes to be a political consultant and for that I am thankful."

“Working at BMWL this summer taught me how to create social media content for a larger brand. I learned more about analytics, organic social media, and the back end of Meta! I had the most amazing time growing my skills at Canva and learning how to use the application, Sprout!”
