The WLP is a national non-profit organization that is developing the next generation of American leadership from the South Asian community. Our program takes promising college students and places them in a Congressional office for an eight-week summer internship accompanied by a structured leadership curriculum. Students then complete a leadership project applying their learning from the summer and are inducted into a leadership community currently made up of 170 alumni from the 15 years of the program. Former Congressional leader Richard Gephardt has called it “one of the best programs of its kind on the Hill.”
Since 1995, the WLP has given more than 170 South Asian American students the opportunity to intern in Washington, DC. In addition to the internship, participants attend special meetings and events to fully expose them to the South Asian American political Diaspora. Past programs and events have included meetings with South Asian American elected officials, Ambassadors and South Asians who are working in Congress, the federal government and local and state agencies.
If this sounds at all interesting, you should apply. The Washington Leadership Program is a great space to forge connections with other South Asian Americans, get a taste of what it's like to intern in DC, and have access to leaders doing awesome work in their fields. It's one of those programs I wish I had known more about in college.
I remember being blown away by a WLP panel I attended during summer 2010. Anna John (Sepia Mutiny co-founder) and Kiran Ahuja (current Executive Director of White House Initiative on AAPI) were on the panel. Seeing so many bad ass South Asian ladies in one place inspired me to get involved with the South Asian Awareness Network (SAAN) at the University of Michigan, and begin exploring the layers and meanings of my South Asian American identity.
Apply. Just do it.
