Applications are now being accepted for OFA’s InternAmerica program, a six-week intern program during the summer of 2010 in the nation’s capital. InternAmerica allows OFA students to gain valuable workplace experience, networking opportunities, and allow youth to serve as spokespersons in a variety of environments to promote the promise and potential of older youth.

This past summer, 20 OFA students spent six weeks in Washington, DC, working at congressional offices, non-profits, and corporations. Rounding out their six weeks in Washington, InternAmerica students were treated to a host of workshops for professional development: resume writing, networking, time management skills, etc. Hosted by national corporations, these workshops provided students with tools and skills to launch their careers after graduation.

Think this might be an opportunity for you? Find out more about our InternAmerica program.
