What are you looking for in a summer internship? How would you like
to:
Join 60 law student fellows interning this summer in community
development and capacity-building projects around the country.
Participate in a prestigious national program and gain valuable
skills and experience.
Serve on a project addressing an issue such as: Indian/tribal law,
domestic violence, migrant farmworkers' rights, housing and
homelessness, or one of many others.
Enroll in AmeriCorps*VISTA as a VISTA member, joining a federal
program with a 30 year history serving low-income communities.
Earn a living stipend equal to that of a full-time VISTA member for
8 to 11 weeks (approximately $600- $800 per month- depending on
location), and also receive an education award worth $1,000 at the
end of the summer to apply to qualified loans.
Participate in a national training to be held in late May 1999, in
Washington, D.C. Receive a stipend to cover the costs of relocating
to your summer site, as well as free travel and room and board for the
national training.
