TACL Summer Political Internships

The Taiwanese American Citizen League (TACL) Summer Internship Program, established in 1992, was formed to infuse the Taiwanese American community with a greater understanding of the political system through placement of college level students at offices of local, state, and national public officials. This allows Taiwanese Americans to be better recognized as a developed community with a voice. Our primary mission for TACL is to promote Taiwanese culture, heritage and identity as well as involvement in American society. Interns experience first hand how the political system works by observing and participating in the formation of policies, both domestic and foreign. In addition to working in their offices, interns visit top legislators in an intense Sacramento lobbying trip, attend community events, participate in leadership development workshops, and various other activities. The 9-week program will begin on June 15 and end on August 18, 2007, and interns will be assigned to offices throughout Los Angeles or Washington DC. Contact Kristine Wang (kristine.wang@tacl.org) with any questions. Applications are available now and DUE March 11, 2007. Download the application HERE.
