INTERNSHIP AT IRAC

FOR University and college students
TIME: One semester or summer

BRIEF ORGANIZATIONAL DESCRIPTION

IRAC's mission is to assist the Indochinese in the U.S. in their transition
from dependent refugees to a responsible Asian-American minority. IRAC has
committed to serve as a voice and a resource to all Indochinese ethnic groups
in the U.S As a voice IRAC is a leading advocate for refugee protection and
human rights, both in first asylum camps and in home countries. As a resource,
IRAC serves as a national clearinghouse for information on Indochinese
refugees, and a technical assistance center for the empowerment of the
Indochinese-American community. IRAC's major program areas include:

o Public Education and Advocacy-to help ensure refugee protection, asylum, and
resettlement, by fostering Indochinese-American participation in seeking
durable solutions to the refugee situation in Southeast Asia

o Leadership Development-to seek out existing and potential leaders and work
with them on setting an agenda for the Indochinese-American community

o Community Empowerment-to empower Indochinese-Americans as a strong and
productive minority, through a mutually supportive network of IRAC's
associates.

INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

IRAC seeks interns who are interested in working on various activities
promoting the three program areas mentioned above. Internships are especially
suited to those with an interest and academic background in international
affairs, political science, history, ethnography, journalism, or social
service. The internship program would consist of research on a current issue or
topic within this area of interest. The research must be Indochina-related, or
have to do with domestic issues of relevance to the Indochinese- American
community. In addition, the intern would give support service in the IRAC
office, as appropriate (assistance with mailings, resource library work,
logistical duties during conferences and workshops). An intern would also have
the opportunity to work on IRAC's quarterly publication, The Bridge.

The intern will in turn, receive practical experience in an office environment
in Washington, D.C. and working with the Southeast Asian peoples and learning
about the various Southeast Asian cultures. The internship will also provide
access to the IRAC library and useful personal contacts for a research project.
Wherever possible, IRAC hopes that interns arrange to receive academic credit
for their work at IRAC.
