Please upload a headshot or recent photo of yourself and a short personal bio. These will help The Policy Project team get to know a bit more about you! Some volunteer roles are also highlighted on our website.
Don't worry—your bio doesn’t need to be long or fancy! Just a short paragraph or two is perfect. The goal is to give others a sense of who you are, what you care about, and what experience you bring to your role with The Policy Project.
What to Include:
Educational, Professional, or Volunteer Experience: Where you’ve studied, jobs, internships, or causes you've been part of.
Passions and interests: What issues matter to you? What inspired you to volunteer?
Fun facts (optional): Hobbies, favorite books, or anything that adds personality.
How to Write It:
Write in third person (e.g., “Maria is a college student studying sociology…” instead of “I am a college student…”).
Keep it warm and conversational, like you're introducing yourself to someone new.
Aim for 4–6 sentences.
Example:

She has experience volunteering with YWCA and The Boys & Girls Club and is passionate about education equity and women's health. Jordan volunteers with The Policy Project to help advance policies that support working families. In her free time, she loves hiking, reading, and baking sourdough bread.
