Lint Center Mentors are individuals with expertise and experience in a broad array of our country’s intelligence agencies including the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Energy, the Department of Homeland Security, US State Department, and various other organizations including the Department of Defense.
| Presidential Service Award Nomination: |
 |
- In his 2002 State of the Union address, President George W. Bush issued a challenge to all Americans to make time to help their neighbors, communities, and Nation through service. He created the USA Freedom Corps to help all Americans answer his call to service and help foster a culture of service, citizenship, and responsibility. President Obama has signed a letter of recognition for those qualifying for a presidential service awards. As a result, we are now fulfilling award requests for service hours as indicated here.
- Hours spent on this project may be added toward a nomination for the Presidential Service Award. If nominees receive a service award, volunteers will receive 1) An official President’s Volunteer Service Award lapel pin; 2) A personalized certificate of achievement; 3) A congratulatory letter from the President of the United States; 4) A letter from the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, 5) A personal letter of recommendation from the Lint Center for future employers.

Overview
The Lint Center for
National Security Studies, Public Affairs Office, is seeking
highly-motivated volunteers. The Lint Center Public Affairs
Office provides a wide range of communication services for the
Lint Center and serves as the primary liaison between the Lint
Center and the news media as well as the general public. The
office promotes enhanced public awareness about the Center, its
mission as a non-profit, its scholarship recipients, and its
think tank efforts promoting the innovative ideas and
counterintuitive solutions of contributing writers addressing
existing counterintelligence, defense policy, and national
security issues.
Most of these opportunities are totally virtual
(volunteer doesn't have to be on site at the organization) The Lint Center may request a quick
telephone interview, a resume review, and/or a short writing
sample.
