Is CNN your favorite channel? Do you obsessively read the New York Times? Love arguing about the latest bill or law being passed? If you’re a news or political junkie, RunningStart.org has the perfect internship for you.

The newly-founded organization helps young women snag internships in Washington D.C. where they get to go behind-the-scenes and work with the movers and shakers that shape our world. From interning in a senator’s office to blogging about your experiences online, RunningStart.org is ready to get you on the right career path to becoming a leader on your campus (and possibly scoring a job in politics).

Deadline for the next term is October 1, so hurry up and fill out YOUR application before you miss your opportunity to make Capitol Hill your new home-away-from-home.
