🤲 Faces of Our Food Future 

This summer, GW launched its inaugural Humanitarian Internship Program Pilot (HIPP). Now known as the Humanitarian Internship Program (HIP), it is a 10-week professional internship opportunity to contribute to global and local humanitarian efforts. The program partners with leading organizations addressing critical challenges across the humanitarian sector. Two of HIP's first interns, Callie Hoffman and Phillip Yamoah Appiah, focused on food aid and are examples of GW’s emerging food leaders at World Central Kitchen and Project HOPE.
