Dear Friends of PICS,  

We are excited to have had over 160 interns serving all across the country and abroad this summer, engaged in almost every aspect of the non-profit sector you can imagine. We have experienced tremendous growth in the PICS program this year, which we believe is indicative of the value placed on civic service by students and other members of the Princeton University community.

I hope you enjoy this opportunity to see what some of Princeton's finest have contributed and experienced in the summer of 2016!

With sincere gratitude for your support,

Chuck

Kyle Lang's Internship Experience
"Every Hand Joined is a great environment for interns, especially those for whom it is their first internship, as it was for me. Everyone I met was so encouraging and supportive of my endeavors both in and outside of work, and I cannot thank everyone enough for that. Additionally, the work I was tasked with was both challenging and worthwhile. Because it is a small organization, I felt deeply involved into the work environment, and I could clearly see how the data I put together was and will be incorporated in the future. I am so blessed to be a part of the PICS program!"
Kyle Lang '19, PICS 2016 Intern at Every Hand Joined
A Summer with the Quebec Labrador Foundation
"Our wonderful 2016 Intern, Aleks Cvetkovic, is now an official Newfoundlander! ...wherever PICS found Aleks, we should declare it a very special place!   We are proud to soon have Aleks in the ranks of our QLF Alumni."

"During my PICS internship with the Quebec-Labrador Foundation (QLF), I got to see icebergs for the first time. This one was in the bay of St. Anthony, Newfoundland, where I and the other interns led an educational program about the local ecosystem at the Boys and Girls Club. We used a lesson on icebergs -- a familiar and cherished site for most of the kids -- to introduce them to the concept of climate change." 
Aleks Cvetkovic '18
In the Service of Humanity


 "I have learned an incredible amount about changing and improving society through a life in public service. While the change that we are fighting for can often times be slow due to partisan politics, I have experienced no other environment where people work passionately, not for the pay, but for the goals that they are trying to achieve."

"I had an awesome time working on Capitol Hill this summer. This is a picture of the Rayburn House Office Building, where Members of Congress and "hillterns" like myself went to work each day!"

What Our Interns, Supervisors, and Alumni Partners Have to Say

"It was truly a pleasure to work with the PICS interns in Oakland and Philadelphia. Each of them was able to contribute to their school in a unique way. We'd love to continue partnering with you in future summers!" 

Laura Banos | Program & Analytics Director, Springboard Collaborative

 

 
"We LOVE working with PICS and remain grateful for our partnership." 
Liz Steinhauser | Director of Youth Programming at St. Stephens

"I'm enjoying my internship very much. I am loving the challenge of teaching these bright young scholars.  Sometimes it has been frustrating, but many of my students have really caught fire in terms of their motivation to learn and excitement about the subject matter, and that's very fulfilling and inspiring." 
Maya Aranoff '19, Breakthrough Miami intern
 
"Mr. Frank, my alumni partner, visited last week and did a walkthrough of our school. We discussed the work that's being done and various approaches to inner-city education. He also talked to me about my future major choices and career options, which was very helpful towards thinking about what classes I want to take next semester." 
Victoria Tang '19, intern at NorthStar Academy

"Everyone in Congressman Buck's office is so friendly and helpful. I have been able to meet several members of Congress and attend many lectures, hearings, and briefings. This has been a new experience for me, and it has been very exciting to get a better understanding of the finer details of how our legislative system functions. I have also had the opportunity to interact with many constituents and advocacy groups who are pushing for support for certain legislation. It has been very eye opening to understand the impact federal legislation has on the everyday lives of Americans all across the country. 
Looking forward to all that is to come!" 
Kaylee Grant '19, intern to Congressman Ken Buck '81

"In my years (now 7) of serving as an alumni partner I consistently feel like I have gotten more out of the partnering experience than I have put into it.  The Princeton students with whom I have had the privilege to work have inspired me, made me a better, more thoughtful, more giving person, and have opened my eyes and helped me to see the world in ways I would not have been able to see the world without their intervention.  I'm grateful every day to PICS - and to my PICS partner-students - for being a part of my life!"  Sue McSorley '77
