LIA is a rigorous eight-week summer program. Interns work at selected community-based organizations, attend leadership seminars, and work on community projects.
Interns receive a stipend for successful completion of the full program.
Brochures are now available. Eligible CBOs must be a nonprofit organization serving the APA community, have an office in the Los Angeles area, have one full-time staff person who will act as the intern's supervisor, and complete a workplan detailing the intern job description. Take a look at the application for LIA 2001 by downloading the Word and RTF documents. Click here to learn more about how LEAP is empowering communities through our Community Development Institute. I realized work needed to be done beyond the college campus.
