Summer Internship in Top Governmental Offices

Spend your summer as an intern with a premier Internship Program. The Taiwanese American Citizens League (TACL) Summer Internship Program, established in 1992, was formed to infuse the Taiwanese American community with a greater understanding of the political system through placement of college level students in offices of local, state, and national public officials. This allows Taiwanese Americans to be better recognized as a developed community with a voice. TACL's primary mission is to promote Taiwanese culture, heritage and identity as well as involvement in American society. Interns experience first hand how the political system works and observe and participate in the formation of policies, both domestic and foreign. Political interns will be assigned to offices located throughout the Greater Los Angeles area or in Washington, D.C. In addition to working in their offices, interns visit top legislators in an intense lobbying trip, attend community events, participate in leadership development workshops, and various other activities. Alumni of the TACL Political Internship Program have gone on to become elected officials, Congressional Staffers, State and Local level government staffers, and students in top graduate school programs.
