Ambassadors are some of the most important people on our team. They connect us with their campuses and directly engage their peers. Ambassadors help us host events, write articles for the FtF Blog, liaise with faculty and administrators, provide feedback and suggestions for improving our program offerings, and help our organization expand by engaging with student leaders at their home institution and on campuses across the nation.
Available to college students entering their sophomore, junior, or senior years, our Summer Internship Program is a great opportunity to work alongside our team in Washington, D.C. Interns work closely with our Free the Facts teams on a variety of projects including event production, program planning, policy research, and social media.
Free the Facts Interns work with our team from Monday through Wednesday, enabling them to maximize their time in Washington, D.C. by pursuing volunteer opportunities, professional programs, and unpaid internship experiences. Students in this program receive a monthly stipend and housing.

For All-Star Ambassadors who are either entering their senior year or are recent graduates, the Free the Facts Scholar Program offers the opportunity to jumpstart their career by either -
1. Developing and proposing their own project that furthers the organization’s mission; or
2. Applying to one of our identified Scholar Projects
In either scenario, the Scholar is responsible for developing a plan to implement their project by the end of the summer. With the support of FtF staff and resources, Scholars develop critical project management and communication skills.
Scholars work Monday through Friday out of our headquarters in Washington, DC. In addition to a monthly stipend, Scholars receive housing and a monthly metro benefit.
