[Ohio-talk] Applications for the 2019 AAPD Summer Internship Program are Now Open

[Jordy Stringer]

Friends and colleagues, I hope this message finds you all well.

I wanted to share a neat internship opportunity with all of you. Please
read for the details below.





Since 2002, the AAPD Summer Internship Program has developed the next
generation of leaders with disabilities and offered host employers access
to a talented,

diverse workforce. Each summer, AAPD places college students, graduate
students, law students, and recent graduates with all types of disabilities
in summer

internships with Congressional offices, federal agencies, non-profits, and
for-profit organizations in the Washington, DC area. Each intern is matched

with a mentor who will assist them with their career goals. AAPD provides
the interns with a living stipend, transportation to and from Washington,
DC,

and fully-accessible housing.

At the beginning of the summer, interns participate in a 1-week orientation
session to learn about AAPD and the disability rights movement, meet the
other

interns, and participate in a variety of engaging workshops and events. As
part of the AAPD network, interns also receive opportunities to attend
events

on Capitol Hill, conferences, community events, briefings, and more.

Any undergraduate student, law student, graduate student, or recent
graduate from a US college or university who identifies as an individual
with

any type of disability is invited to apply.



Previous AAPD Summer Internship Placements include:

Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA)

National Education Association
