                             Jack recently completed the BroadFutures summer 2019 program, and he was an incredible addition to our largest cohort yet. Willing to complete any assignment thrown his way, Jack proved to be a diligent, committed intern for The Cormac Group. His assignments included attending hearings on the Hill, including the Mueller Hearing, summarizing the hearings into a comprehensive report, and many other research tasks on a wide variety of topics, including cryptocurrency, healthcare, and education. When reflecting upon his experience with BroadFutures, Jack noted that the program helped him "
                             light the path I want to take to succeed in the future."

                              This summer marks our first partnership with NBC Sports Washington, and we look forward to growing our partnership. When asked about their experience this summer, Kim Mosley, Senior Marketing Manager at NBC Sports Washington, said, "
                              We had a rewarding experience hosting Austin during our inaugural session. The BroadFutures mentors and facilitators provided resources and enrichment opportunities that set us up for success and helped Austin grow in his role and contribute to our marketing initiatives."

Register Now! Intern Spotlight – Jack Hostetler Meet Jack Hostetler  – our featured August Intern Spotlight! A 19-year-old from Alexandria, Virginia, Jack enjoys cooking and learning about history. He plans to attend college in the spring and eventually become a classics or history professor. Jack recently completed the BroadFutures summer 2019 program, and he was an incredible addition to our largest cohort yet. Willing to complete any assignment thrown his way, Jack proved to be a diligent, committed intern for The Cormac Group. His assignments included attending hearings on the Hill, including the Mueller Hearing, summarizing the hearings into a comprehensive report, and many other research tasks on a wide variety of topics, including cryptocurrency, healthcare, and education. When reflecting upon his experience with BroadFutures, Jack noted that the program helped him ” light the path I want to take to succeed in the future.” It has been a pleasure working with you, Jack, and we can’t wait to see what you accomplish in the future!!
