A few things previous interns had to say:
"…I had the best summer of my life because of IFL. I had such a great experience in Washington D.C. and made extremely close friends with some of the other FTE interns. All in all I had a wonderful time in Washington D.C."
Andrew Aradi, National Taxpayers Union and Foundation 2008
"I felt that my internship at IHS has allowed me to grow both professionally and personally. Specifically, this internship allowed me to practice expressing my ideas and forced me to discuss, defend, challenge, and even change them if necessary. My internship at IHS has improved my confidence in my ability to converse in an effective and professional manner, to communicate my thoughts concisely and clearly."
Breanna Popelar, Institute for Humane Studies
"Great office and location. There were four other interns who I got along with very well. I appreciated the small size of the organization and got to know almost all of the employees. I was forced to become more up to date on current events, express my opinions, and critically examine my writing and enhance my skills at editing, revising, and researching."
David Libardoni, Capital Research Center
"The Tax Foundation is filled with some of the most intelligent people I have met in my life. The work they do is noble and they really treat the interns well."
