Armenian Assembly of America: Terjenian-Thomas
Assembly Internship Program in Washington, DC
Mission: The Armenian Assembly of America Terjenian-Thomas Assembly
Internship Program gives college students of Armenian descent an opportunity
to live and work in Washington, D.C. for eight weeks each summer. At the
same time, interns gain exposure to the policy-making process in our nation's
capital.
Projects: Since 1977, the Assembly has placed nearly 750 interns in the offices of prominent Senators and Representatives, the Department of Commerce, the World Bank, the Federal Reserve Board, C-SPAN, the Center for Strategic and International Studies and many other government agencies, think tanks and advocacy groups.
There are four major components to the program:
· Internship: This is the work that an intern does at his/her
place of employment. Most internships involve a standard eight-hour work
day. The internships are unpaid, and interns are given responsibilities
on the basis of their educational background and performance on the job.
Some of the more successful interns have received job offers from their
respective offices.
· Capitol Ideas: This program provides the interns the opportunity
to meet with Senators and Representatives. The objective is to give interns
a forum to ask questions to our elected officials about topics that are
important to the Armenian-American community and about events taking place
in the U.S. and around the world. Capitol Ideas takes place during the
working day, and employers are notified ahead of time of the meeting schedule.
These meetings are mandatory for all participants.
· Lecture Series: The Lecture Series focuses specifically
on issues of importance to the Armenian-American community. It is designed
to inform and encourage debate among the interns about the structure of
the Armenian community, U.S. foreign policy toward Armenia and Karabagh,
as well as to hear what experts have to say about the South Caucasus.
These lectures are mandatory for all participants.
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Newsline Publisher Paul Goble, syndicated
columnist Philip Terzian and human rights activist Kathryn Porter are
among those who have addressed Assembly interns in previous years.
· Social Activities: The Washington area is fascinating,
and social activities are planned for interns to experience the nation's
capital. Interns celebrate the Fourth of July on the Mall and are often
hosted by local trustee families for summer picnics. In addition to the
activities organized by the internship program, Washington offers a summer-long
series of festivals, open-air concerts, cultural activities and museum
exhibits that provide an exciting variety of choices for the program participants
to enjoy while in Washington. Social activities are organized so that
participants of the program have the opportunity to interact with one
another outside of the workweek. However, these social gatherings are
not a mandatory part of the program.
Requirements: Participants are chosen on the basis of their educational credentials, writing ability, maturity and a demonstrated interest in community and public service.
