Why do Organizations Host a GCG Team?

• To recieve critical support in areas that might not be staffed internally. From a specific research project, to program evaluation, GCG can help fill a critical gap that your organization might not have tim to do on its own
• Receive quality assistance on projects requiring specific policy expertise. GCG members typically have 2-5 years of work experienc in various sectors and we try to match students based on experience and interest
• To support the professional development of future public service leaders who are committed to your organization's mission

Organization Eligibility
While all organizations are encouraged to submit a project proposal, the most successful partnerships have been with organizations that are able to:

• Provide a point of contact that can communicate regular with the project team
• Be flexible with student class and exam schedules
• Propose a project that has specific and attainable goals

Project Timelines
Projects typically follow the academic schedule of Princeton University. In the fall, projects typically start at the end of September and in the spring they start in early February. Many times, projects that begin in September span the length of two semesters.

Submitting a Proposal
We encourage you to review past projects that GCG has worked on. If you have a project that you think GCG can help with, please submit the proposal form below to the current GCG co-chairs. For fall projects we request that all proposals be submitted by early September. For spring projects proposals should be submitted by the end of January. Submit all proposals to gcg@princeton.edu.
