HOW TO APPLY FOR WHITE HOUSE ASIAN-AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDERS FALL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM! (1058 hits)



The White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders offers full-time internships year round (spring, summer, and fall). Part-time applicants who can commit to at least 20 hours a week will be considered, although the Initiative prioritizes full-time applicants (32-40 hours a week). The following internship sites are available:

•Washington, DC at the Initiative headquarters
•Remote (for communications/multimedia intern)
The Initiative is responsible for the implementation of the President's Executive Order 13515, dated October 14, 2009. Its purpose is to develop, monitor, and coordinate executive branch efforts to improve the quality of life of AAPIs through increased participation in federal programs. The Initiative is housed at the Department of Education but its scope is government-wide.

Interns at the Initiative are responsible for assisting the staff on a wide range of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) issues and priorities, including capacity-building, civil rights, data disaggregation, economic development, education, health, immigration, language access, and workforce diversity. In addition, interns will help write policy memos and proposals, draft blogs, assist with communications and social media, coordinate and staff events, and conduct outreach to national and local AAPI organizations and leaders.

Applicants for intern positions must be undergraduates or graduate students who are enrolled at least half-time. Ideally, the candidate will already be familiar with AAPI issues and have outstanding research, writing, communications, and computer skills.

How to Apply:*

(*If not accepted to this program, your application may be passed onto other federal agencies for consideration.)

Deadlines:

•July 29 for Fall 2016 session (Aug-Dec)
•For more information on Spring and Summer deadlines, visit http://sites.ed.gov/aapi.
