Looking for a practicle paid experience in the Asian Pacific Islander community this summer? You may want to check out this internship program with the Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics (LEAP). The following was forwarded to me by Professor Glenn Omatsu.
Forwarded via email ######### My name is Scott Chan and I work for Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics, Inc (LEAP), which is a nonprofit organization focused on growing leadership in API's. The reason I'm emailing you is because each summer, we offer API students a paid internship experience, allowing them to work in different non profits around the LA area.
Leadership in Action (LIA) is an eight-week paid summer internship program designed to develop emerging young leaders by providing college students with practical leadership skills and the opportunity to work hands-on in the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community in Southern California.
Approaching its 11th year, the program takes learning beyond the classroom, and places the student interns in a range of AAPI community based organizations in order to gain real-life experience working at nonprofits.
The intern's weekly schedule is comprised of 4 days at their assigned community based organization (CBO) and 1 day at LEAP. At the CBO, the intern works with their assigned supervisor on a meaningful project. At LEAP, the intern's day is devoted to leadership development training, issue discussions, CBO site visits and a community impact project. Nationally recognized trainers deliver workshops in critical skill areas. Issue discussions are on local or timely topics of interest and are facilitated by local community leaders/activists and LEAP trainers.

The DEADLINE for applications is MARCH 6th. Please forward this to your students! It's a great opportunity to work in the community and get that experience!
