The WLP cultivates the South Asian American community's next generation of leaders by placing them in Congressional offices or Government Agencies for eight-week summer internships and a structured leadership-training curriculum. The students gain a firsthand view of the policy-making and legislative process, as well as gain access to high-profile South-Asian leaders in the nation's capitol. Applications are available online at http://www.thewlp.com/the-wlp-program.html. The deadline for submitting applications
is January 23, 2015. Please follow @TheWLP and www.facebook.com/TheWLP for additional information that will provide insight for the application process.

Interns will receive a total stipend of $2,000 and will be required to complete
2-3 short writing assignments during the internship.The WLP has over 200 alumni who have interned for notable elected officials including Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO), and Rep. Ami Bera (D-CA). Alumni from the program have gone on to win Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, and Mitchell Scholarships. Several alums are currently senior advisors to government officials, and one is an elected representative from the State of Ohio.For more information about the program, visit the WLP's website at www.thewlp.com
