The Indian American Center for Political Awareness (IACPA) invites
college students to apply to our 2005 Washington Leadership Program
(WLP) in Washington, DC.
Over ten years, the WLP has given more than 150 Indian American
students the opportunity to intern in Washington, DC, making it one of
the most successful Asian American internship programs in Washington,
DC. The WLP is an eight-week internship program where participants are
placed by IACPA in Congressional offices. In addition to the
internship, participants attend special meetings and events to fully
expose them to the Indian American political Diaspora. Past programs
and events have included meetings with Indian American elected
officials, Ambassadors and Indian Americans who are working in
Congress, the Federal Government and local and state agencies.
The 2005 WLP internship will run from June 13, 2005 – August 5, 2005.
All students who are either US citizens or legal permanent residents
are encouraged to apply. Selection to the WLP is highly competitive
and not limited to students pursuing majors in social sciences. The
backgrounds of past participants have ranged from medical school to
art and social work.
The deadline to apply for the WLP is February 1, 2005.
Should you have any questions or would like further information about
the program, please contact the IACPA office at or
