As we look back on the past year, we are pleased to share accomplishments at The Washington Center that have allowed us to provide meaningful learning experiences for our students. In 2013, we witnessed unprecedented expansion of our organization’s global reach.

TWC celebrated serving more than 3,500 alumni from outside the United States. In addition to marking this important milestone, we expanded our global footprint through:

• Enhanced reach in Mexico, with more than 96 students from four Mexican states participating in our programs. • New partnership with the government of Gibraltar to provide opportunities for 60 students over the course of three years. • New partnership with the U.S.–Japan Council and U.S. Japan Research Institute to expand opportunities for students from Japan to learn about civil society. • Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Córdova & Fernós Internship Program sponsored by the Puerto Rico Legislature, which has provided opportunities for more than 600 Puerto Ricans to intern in Washington, D.C. • Recruiting a diverse student body. In 2013, students came from 19 countries, 45 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.

Without financial support, many students would not be able to access TWC’s programs. Over the past year, TWC was able to distribute more than $4 million in financial aid because of the generosity of corporations, foundations, state governments, individuals and alumni. In addition, TWC is also proud to serve as a partner with U.S. government to facilitate opportunities for students to participate in federal internships. During 2013, TWC was chosen to operate the Summer Transportation CONTENTS Internship Program for Diverse Groups at the Department of Transportation which will provide opportunities for more than 500 students over the next five years. 02 Expanding Our A special moment during the past year was the opportunity for TWC to present a Lifetime Global Reach Achievement Award to The Honorable John C. Whitehead, former Deputy Secretary of State and 06 Life-changing former Co-chairman of Goldman Sachs. Mr. Whitehead served on TWC’s Board of Directors Partnerships for many years.

2 in depth Prudential Foundation Sponsors TWC’s First Global Citizenship Day

A daylong international conference and festival—TWC’s Global Citizenship Day— debuted on October 2013, thanks to the support of the Prudential Foundation. The festival highlighted the importance of global citizenship and provided tools to help TWC’s student body enhance their cross-cultural skills so they can have an impact on the world.

The event opened with a keynote address by former actor, TV host and UN moderator Chris Bashinelli. He candidly shared his life journey from actor—which included a role in the hit TV series “The Sopranos”—to rookie documentary filmmaker in Tanzania, to caretaker for his ailing father and, ultimately, to TV host and producer, fulfilling a personal dream. Mr. Bashinelli concluded by telling students: “Find your passion and don’t think about the how; think about the why. Find out who needs your help; find out where you can be of service—that’s how you’re going to make a difference and that’s how you’ll become a global citizen.”

The keynote address was followed by breakout sessions on topics such as cross- cultural negotiation, global leadership, financial literacy, public speaking and social responsibility.

The students—from Chennai, India; Detroit; St. Petersburg, Russia; Dallas; Shanghai, China; and San Diego—presented their unique insights on the internship experience in Washington D.C.

One story came from Sarah Bashareel, a student from the San Diego area who attends New Jersey’s Fairleigh Dickinson University. When asked about her reasons for coming to Washington, Ms. Bashareel humbly answered “to gain independence.” As a young Saudi woman, her time in D.C. was as much a symbolic triumph over cultural restrictions as it was an exercise in burgeoning professionalism. For Ms. Bashareel, following her heart and making the journey alone was not something she took for granted. Through TWC’s Leadership Forum, her Model UN activities and her internship at Innovations for Global Participation, Ms. Bashareel can now do what she wants: ask questions and establish her own path.

Another student from Baton Rouge, La., spoke about taking a fellow intern from India to eat his first taco in America. A student from Shanghai recalled venturing out and living alone in the United States, experiencing the American lifestyle for the first time. The stories told of aspiring young leaders seeking opportunity, personal growth and, most importantly, tools and expertise to change the world in a tangible and positive way.

During their conversation with Mr. Ojakli, the students discussed philanthropy, corporate social responsibility and Ford’s international endeavors. Perhaps the most memorable part of the conversation came when Mr. Ojakli addressed the issue of finding passion in one’s work. “Making a difference makes one feel good, to go beyond just making a profit,” he said. This resonated with the group, many of whom wish to embark on a career that has a social impact while also enjoying financial success. As Mr. Ojakli emphasized, “The balance is there…Just follow your passion.”

The year 2013 marked the seventh year that the AT&T Foundation has partnered with TWC. During the partnership, AT&T Foundation has provided more than $300,000 in support for students with disabilities. At the end of the summer 2013 term, AT&T scholarship recipients met with representatives from the company for a candid discussion on how businesses and advocacy organizations can work together to achieve better outcomes in Washington, D.C. At the end of the panel, three AT&T scholars shared their struggles and their successes, touching on their internships in D.C., explaining their support systems and what inspires them to keep living each day to its fullest.

One student living with Tourette’s syndrome shared how life taught him that there is no such thing as the word can’t: “I’ve turned my disabilities into strengths, and TWC has helped me step up since I began the program.” He said he developed the following philosophy to help him get through all the hurdles that life throws his way: “Always give 250 percent!”

Another student with cerebral palsy shared how TWC changed his life. He had never lived outside his home state, let alone 500 miles away. He had doubted whether he would be able to navigate Washington and knew that it would sometimes take him twice as long as anyone else to get somewhere in the city. But, he said: “If I had given in to that little voice in my head that said I couldn’t do something, I’d never be where I am today. I’m trying to strive and achieve any goal that I’ve set for myself.”

The last student who spoke shared the challenges he has faced after learning he had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder at 2 years old. He told the crowd: “TWC has given me a lot of hope in the workplace, and despite my disability I know that I have the power to succeed.” He left the audience with a special piece of advice: “Find people who understand what it is that you’re going through. It will make it easier to succeed in life.”

The Córdova & Fernós Program for Congressional Internships was created in 1993 by the Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico to give the territories’ outstanding college students the opportunity to spend a semester in Washington, D.C. as interns in Congress, federal agencies and nongovernment organizations, enriching their academic, personal and professional lives. The year 2013 marked the program’s 20th anniversary, and throughout the year TWC celebrated the hundreds of outstanding interns and alumni who are currently working and living in Washington and Puerto Rico.

On December 16, 2013, the official commemoration of the 20th anniversary took place in San Juan at the Luis A. Ferré Capitol Building. The event was a great opportunity for alumni to reconnect with one another and featured prominent Puerto Rican legislators, including:
