Support the Program
Help Us Open Doors. Transform a Student’s Summer—and Their Future.
Each summer, students at George Washington University step out of the classroom and into the heart of humanitarian action. Through the Humanitarian Internship Program (HIP), they work alongside front line organizations, contribute to urgent global and local challenges, and begin shaping careers rooted in purpose and impact. But none of this happens without support.
HIP is fully funded by the university and donors like you.
Your gift helps provide:
Paid internships so students can focus on impact—not income
Summer housing support that ensures students can fully engage in their internships on-site in Washington, D.C.
Career-building trainings that strengthen leadership, communication, and cross-cultural skills
A cohort experience that builds mentorship, peer connection, and a sense of community
Your support directly removes barriers for students who are eager to lead and serve—but may not have the means to access these experiences on their own. Every gift, no matter the size, helps launch a student into meaningful, life-changing work.
