The Matsui Center Democracy Camp in DC Expansion Fund

Your gift makes a difference

This transformative program not only ignites their interest in careers in federal government, but also provides opportunities to expand their networks and form meaningful connections with each other and with public service professionals.

Your gift helps cover vital expenses for students, including travel, lodging, meals, and program activities, during this eight-day introduction to careers in federal government in our nation’s capitol. Berkeley undergraduates spend the week meeting with political appointees, career staff, and elected officials in the legislative, executive, and judiciary branches in addition to visiting historical and cultural landmarks. They learn about career paths into federal public service and what it's like to live and work in Washington, and gain skills that inspire future civic leadership. Your generosity makes this unique experience accessible, paving the way for these young leaders to bring positive change to their communities.

Thank you for your generous support!
