Here is a great opportunity I just heard about. It is an internship opportunity for those who have been in foster care to serve in Washington DC for one month. This could be a great way to turn the experience of being in foster care into a building block towards your future. This could be a great resume item. The deadline is right around the corner, so if you are interested act quickly. Here are the details:
The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute’s (CCAI) Foster Youth Internship (FYI) Program is a competitive, highly esteemed Congressional Internship for young adults who spent at least 24 consecutive months in the U.S. foster care system. All applicants have completed four semesters of schooling at an accredited institution of higher learning, such as a college, university, or vocational school. Participants will be placed in the Washington, DC offices of Members of Congress. The dates for the 2011 Foster Youth Internship Program are May 31- July 30, 2011. The applications are due by January 7th, 2011 and can be found here along with more information. Enjoy!
