Interning
for America is currently requesting feedback.
This is a great opportunity to help us change public service
internships across the country. Your responses will be used as the
backbone as we design viable internship models for local governments where
there are none and as we push legislators and Governors to provide funding for
their current internship programs.
Interning
for America (IFA) is a project that seeks to diversify the current economic
demographics of today's politics. By connecting
undergraduates with paid internship programs and funding, we hope more students
who cannot afford to work for free have the opportunity to experience
government. IFA is in the process of developing funded internship models to
offer local governments that are trying to engage their younger constituents and to revamp
existing programs. In September we will begin sending out a monthly newsletter
with upcoming deadlines to ensure public service oriented undergraduates are
fully aware of their options.
We are looking for former government interns
to fill out a very short form about their internship
experience.
