WireTap Seeks Applicants for New Leaders Paid Internship Program, Deadline March 13

Dear WireTap Supporter,

There are no shortages of internships out there, but how many of them are paid, include trainings, networking, and make sure you have a real mentor by your side?

Too few and far between; that’s why we wanted to let you know about the unique New Leaders Program run by our friends over at the Center for Progressive Leadership.

The New Leaders Program works to change the face of tomorrow’s political leadership by connecting young people of color, LGBT youth, and women to paid internship opportunities with progressive organizations.

The 2008 New Leaders Internship Program runs from June 8th to August 15th, and includes a paid Internship at a leading progressive organization in D.C., weekly trainings, mentoring and career coaching with progressive leaders, as well as a stipend of $3,750 for the summer, and housing assistance.

Applications are due on March 13th.

And if you can’t make it this summer, let your friends know about this rare opportunity. Good luck!
