The application for our Washington D.C.- based internship, Hindu American Capitol Hill Leadership Initiative, is now available (click on the source link, above). Download it today!
This exciting opportunity will allow selected applicants to spend approximately eight weeks in Summer 2011 working as interns in Congressional offices. The internship program is open to all rising college juniors and seniors as well as graduate students (including professional graduate degree students). Rising sophomores with relevant work experience will be considered. Applicants should have solid knowledge of Hinduism and its practice and demonstrate a strong interest in Hindu American advocacy.
Interns will work in a fast-paced environment where they work closely with staffers and other interns.

Housing will be coordinated by HAF through Washington Intern Student Housing (WISH DC).
Please share the application with your friends and family who are eligible to apply. HAF is committed to building a progressive Hindu American voice, and we can only do it by involving the next generation of leaders. Over the years, the Foundation has built a respected and credible voice on the Hill. The Capitol Hill Leadership Initiative is the next step in solidifying effective Hindu American advocacy in DC for generations to come.
