The OCA Summer Internship Program seeks current full-time undergraduate students who are interested in Asian Pacific American (APA) issues and looking to advance the social, political and economic well-being of APAs. Summer interns will have the opportunity to learn more about the APA community in Washington, DC and how OCA advocates for APAs everywhere. OCA Summer Interns will be placed in full-time paid positions at federal agencies, in Congressional offices, other nonprofits, and the OCA National Office.
Interns will also have the opportunity to meet with prominent elected officials and attend our highly successful Brownbag Lunch Series to learn more about policy issues affecting the APA community.
Each OCA Summer Intern is required to research, create, and present a campus action plan (CAP) before the conclusion of the internship. Interns are expected to identify an issue, challenge, or problem on their campus and to organize and develop solutions to address their issue.
Finally, interns will help OCA organize our annual National Convention which will be in Houston, TX from June 17-20, 2010. The convention will feature speakers, entertainment, workshops, and our signature gala. Applicants are strongly encouraged to make sure they are able to attend convention.
