Summer internship Opportunity: CAUSE Leadership Academy (CLA)
Department: Asian American Studies
Post Date: November 28, 2016News Details
Hello,
My name is Josh Alegado and I work at CAUSE (Center for Asian Americans United for Self Empowerment). CAUSE is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, nonpartisan, community-based organization with a mission to advance the political empowerment of the Asian Pacific American community through voter registration and education, community outreach, and leadership development.
We are looking for students to apply for our summer internship program called CAUSE Leadership Academy (CLA) . The CAUSE Leadership Academy (CLA) was founded in 1991 in order to develop a pipeline of leadership for the Asian Pacific American (APA) community. CLA teaches students the importance of civic engagement and political participation as it prepares its participants to be leaders at the forefront of the democratic process. Applications are due on January 31, 2017. (Please see full details below)
I hope that you can share this opportunity with the greater student body of UCI. Also, I’d really appreciate if you can share the attached flier to your network.
The application is attached for your reference. For more information, please visit CAUSE Leadership Academy 2017 at our website. Please let me know if you have any questions, I would be happy to help.
Sincerely,
Josh
