Engaged Summer Fellowship
A George Mason University Partnership
WEBS Training Center is a designated community partner of George Mason University’s Engaged Summer Program. Through this fellowship, GMU students work directly alongside our Enrolled Agent and CEO on real programs serving real communities — from tax education and financial literacy to AI curriculum research and community outreach.
Why This
Matters section
WEBS Training Center was founded on the belief that education changes everything. The Engaged Summer Fellowship brings that belief to life in two directions: we share our community expertise with the next generation of public servants, and they bring fresh research, data skills, and energy into our work.
For fellows, this is not a sit-and-watch experience. From day one, you are contributing to real programs with real outcomes.
