Georgetown was this really interesting program called the [Center for Social Justice](http://socialjustice.georgetown.edu/). It is where all of there social activism realted organizations stem from. Not only is it a place where clubs get funding, but it is a research center for social reform and service. You can even minor (or get a certifact if your in SFS) in Social Justice through what they call service learning. I went to their open house when I was at GAAP. I think it’s a really different way to approach and encourage service and actvism inspried by the Jesuit tradition. They also said they readily support incoming projects. One of the girls on the panel was freshman with her own group. But I think one of the withstanding programs deals with the DC public school system,so funding shouldn’t be a issue.
I’m 2012 so I sorry I can’t really help with the grad school stuff, but I think both Swathmore and Georgetown are great institutions who will help you tremendously applying to grad school, but Georgetown has DC which is filled with internships. It’s a tough choice Good Luck!
