CAUSE, the Center for Asian Americans United for Self Empowerment, is looking for qualified candidates for CASIC 2009, the California Asian American Student Internship Coalition, designed to prepare elite student leaders to be in the forefront of California's legislative arena.

This program is especially dedicated to developing leadership skills for college students who are interested in exploring a career in public office, public service or community advocacy, which includes becoming an elected or appointed official. College students with an interest in Asian Pacific American are also encouraged to apply. The deadline is May 1.

The internship lasts eight weeks, full-time, June 20 - August 14. It includes a $1,000 stipend (upon satisfactory completion of the program). It sounds like a really awesome opportunity for young people who are looking to get involved in politics. For applications guidelines and details, go to the CAUSE website here.
