My name is Zenni and I am the Programs Coordinator for CAUSE (Center for Asian Americans United for Self Empowerment). CAUSE is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, nonpartisan, community-based organization with a mission to advance the political empowerment of the Asian Pacific American community through voter registration and education, community outreach, and leadership development.
We are seeking undergraduate students to apply for our summer internship program called CAUSE Leadership Academy (CLA), and we would like to ask for you to share this paid summer internship opportunity with your student listservs! This is a unique opportunity for students to build their knowledge of APA community issues, access the resources needed to advance their career, and network with top community leaders and public servants. Please find brief details below:
Duration: June 18, 2018 – August 17, 2018 (9 weeks)
Location: Pasadena, CA (varies within Greater Los Angeles)
Stipend: A stipend of $2,000 will be provided upon satisfactory completion of the program and will serve as reimbursement for expenses accrued throughout the program’s duration. Limited additional support is made available on a case-by-case basis.
Time Commitment: Must be able to commit full time for 40 hours per week. Additional hours to work on a group project will also be required.
Requirements: Must be able to access a reliable source of transportation. Interns are required to commute to and from their office placement, weekly civic leadership workshops, various mandatory meetings/events, and to group project meetings on an as-needed basis. Participants are required to secure their own housing in Southern California for the duration of the program. Interns should prepare to make their own meal arrangements.
The CAUSE Leadership Academy (CLA) was founded in 1991 in order to teach students the importance of civic engagement and political participation as it prepares them to be at the forefront of the democratic process. Applications are due on January 31, 2018.
I have attached the application. For more information, please visit CAUSE Leadership Academy 2018 at our website.
