A component of the First Year Fellows Program, Civic Skills Training (CST) provides the skills necessary to excel in internships and beyond.
The First-Year Fellows program gives first-year students the opportunity to engage in public policy early in their Dartmouth careers. Each year, 20-25 students are selected for summer placement in a diverse range of policy internships in Washington, D.C. with Dartmouth alumni mentors. Students gain valuable professional experience, live with their peers, and develop leadership, writing, and critical thinking skills during the fellowships. Applications are open until Friday, March 26 11:59pmEST. Apply Here!
