In the building, a community of many NGOs often work and socialize together. Interns can network with these and other NGOs, as well as UN and mission staff. Interns enjoy being in New York City, a world center of finance, media, education and the arts. Interns can take advantage of New York's many cultural and entertainment offerings. Beyond working together in the office, interns socialize outside the workplace and get to know people in the GPF community.
Interns often have lunch together.
Recent summer interns enjoyed a GPF outing in the countryside on Long Island. GPF always honors departing interns at a special dinner celebration. After leaving GPF, former interns join the GPF alumni network. A newsletter twice a year keeps alumni in touch with each other. Interns take advantage of their GPF connections to reach employment and academic goals.
