Since the needs of each student vary, we do not offer housing as part of the Hermann program. You will need to make your own living arrangements, although we will be happy to suggest apartments in the Washington, D.C., area. Young America's Foundation is not Metro accessible, so you will need to have access to a car. The application process does not require travel, although some students like to come to Virginia, meet the staff, and see the office before they apply. There is no official deadline for intern applications, but we recommend applying as early as possible.
Internships are available during the summer as well as during the fall and spring semesters.
I am a math and physics teacher at Nokomis High School in Newport, Maine. I think there is a strong demand for YAF type activity at the high school level. Many lone voices in the woods who would like to speak out. Response First of all, Young America's Foundation does not have chapters or a nationwide affiliate program. Instead, we will work with virtually any student or group of students in high school or college that want our help.
