Shared Values. Shared Goals.

We partner with corporations, foundations and more than 500 colleges and universities around the globe to provide young adults from all walks of life, hands-on educational experiences that help turn their degree into a life changing career. Our programs are structured to align with your values and help you achieve your philanthropic or corporate social responsibility goals.

We have been privileged to build lasting relationships with many organizations that go well beyond generous contributions and sponsorships. In collaboration with our partners, we've designed programs and initiatives that address specific strategic goals within their organization while serving our students and securing the future of The Washington Center.

Turning Values Into Impact

We seek corporate and foundation partners that share our commitment to equip young people with the professional experience and personal tools to reach their full potential. Whether it's providing access to underserved student populations through targeted scholarships, or funding the development of specific programming that align with corporate social responsibility objectives, we enable organizations to leverage their contribution to make a significant impact.
