Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Summer Internship

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) was established in 1978 by members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus as a non-profit, non-partisan educational organization dedicated to developing the next generation of Latino leaders. Every summer (early June-early August), promising Latino undergraduates from across the country are selected for an eight-week leadership training program in the nation’s capital. While in DC, interns work in the offices of U.S. representatives. The curriculum has a three-pronged design and focuses on work experience, community service, and educational and professional programming provided by CHCI. Interns will receive domestic round-trip transportation to Washington, DC, summer housing, $2,500 total gross stipend for local expenses, a placement in a Congressional office, and weekly leadership development sessions.
