The applications to the first edition of FLAD Legislative Internships are now open. This is an opportunity for the new generation of Portuguese-Americans to participate actively in the legislative process, gain first-hand experience in public office and engage in the promotion of the Portuguese-American community in the United States. For this first edition, FLAD is partnering with lawmakers Jim Costa, Michael Rodrigues and Jessica de La Cruz.<\/p>\n

At FLAD, \u00a0our aim is to strengthen the ties between Portugal and the United States. And that is only possible if the new generation of Portuguese-Americans becomes the linchpin that furthers the relationship between our countries. This is why FLAD created a program designed specifically for young Americans of Portuguese ancestry, aged 18 to 25.<\/p>\n

This call aims at selecting four interns with an interest in public service and high academic record in any field of study.<\/p>\n

These are paid, in-person internships, with the goal of providing to the selected candidates first-hand experience of the legislative process and knowledge about local and federal government.<\/p>\n

Internships will run May through July with flexible starting date, length and working schedule.<\/p>\n

You may intern in one of the following offices:<\/strong><\/p>\n
