El Puente Summer Internship
There are two opportunities and you can apply to both the leadership academy AND internship, or just the leadership academy. The leadership academy is the start of the internship program and is the training opportunity that will equip you with the knowledge, skills, and resources you need to start off your internship with success or go on to pursue other leadership and social change work (with our organization or on your own) -- the movement needs a lot of young leaders and we want to support you no matter where your journey leads you.
