How do I find good internships to get into politics such as an internship in the UN? What are some good opportunities and options for such?

I am currently in all honors classes as a freshmen and I am a part of my schools medium sized delegation secretariat for MUN, and I have won multiple awards in rigorous committees. I know I am doing everything right in that department and my courses/education, but I want to take it a step further as of internships so as to stand out in my college applications. What would be the best path?

How can I turn my passion for policy into real impact in law or nonprofits? #Spring 25

As a Public Policy major and Spanish minor at USC, I’m especially drawn to work that uplifts communities through education, legal advocacy, and nonprofit programs. I’m eager to learn how others have navigated similar paths, whether through law school, policy work, or grassroots leadership, and what helped them stay grounded while creating meaningful change.

How do I break into the political sphere?

As a high school sophomore looking to get into politics, living in an area that generally does not agree my ideology, or at least their perception of it, how do I break in and get a job in this field, or even potentially get elected? Do I even bother trying? Should I turn to one of my other interests (history or football), or channel my interest in politics in some other way, such as becoming a political influencer in the growing online political ecosystem?

How do I utilize my degree in Political Science to most feel like I'm making a difference in the world, or to make my work feel meaningful in a way that isn't public office #Spring25?

Politics and law always excited me, when I was younger I wanted to be a lawyer, now I'm older and my goal in life is to feel like I've made a difference and been able to touch people through my work, I'm looking for advice from people who do feel like they've done that and what meaningful work means to them and how to achieve that.
