This was one of my favorite internships. SID is located just SW of the Capitol in the oldest Free Mason building in the city. It is an office of one or two staff, depending on their current projects, both of whom are very nice, supportive, and easy to work with. The executive director teaches you a lot about grant writing. My writing definitely improved while I was there. The atmosphere of the office is mixed; while you must consistently work hard, it was a laid back and low pressure setting. The director (your supervisor) also takes you out to lunch on occasion. Full time is 9-6/6:30 if I remember correctly.
What I wish was different
I kind of wished that there was a more diverse set of tasks. You go through the same process the whole, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
Advice
Organization is key. The more organized you are the better you will perform.
