Dear OCA Members and Friends,
The 2014 OCA Summer Internship deadline application has been extended to Monday March 10, 2014. In celebration of our 25th Year Anniversary we invite student advocates from all across the nation to apply for the unique opportunity to spend
10 weeks in Washington, D.C.
The program provides participants with invaluable work experience and exposure to public policy and advocacy issues. Interns are assigned to federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, congressional offices, and public affairs unit of corporations. Moreover,
summer interns are also integrated in many OCA programs and activities which include the OCA National Convention in Los Angeles, California.
The Internship has successfully led former participants to become more active on their college campus and significantly increased the level of Asian Pacific American civic engagement in local, state, and national public policy issues. A number of OCA alums
have pursued careers in public service, advocacy, and as appointed officials as well as non-public sector positions.
Candidates are selected from both two- year and four-year institutions. Typically, the participants are rising juniors, seniors, or recent graduates. The interns are placed in a full-time position and provided a living stipend. Placements of the interns are
based on individual background, interest, and skill level.
Visit OCA’s website at
www.ocanational.org and click ‘Internship’ tab under ‘Programs Section’ for more information on the Summer Internship program. Click
here to directly access the on-line application. Applications and support materials must be submitted by
Monday March 10, 2014; 11:00PM PST.
