A few things previous interns had to say:
"… I found the entire program remarkable. The opportunities for personal growth and education outside the confines of a UC Berkeley classroom were staggering…. It was a summer of learning about free markets and the role of government."
Pablo Serrato, Intern, Cato Institute
"I'm very grateful to FTE for making the experience financially possible and I hope this program grows and benefits future alumni."
Kathryn Hunt, Intern, Institute for Justice
"I teamed up to spearhead a research project. I learned how to work effectively with other business professionals. I learned how to be listened to and be respected."
Michelle Muccio, Intern, Pacific Research Institute
"My summer at IFL was a growing experience that exposed me to a fast-paced work environment, where I was challenged, on a daily basis, to think outside the box and then bring those ideas to the conference room table."
