The Turkish Coalition of America (TCA) is pleased to announce that it is now accepting applications for the 12th Annual Washington Summer Internship Program.
The TCA Internship Program is open to undergraduate/graduate students and recent graduates of Turkish American heritage.
Now in its twelfth year, the TCA Washington Summer Internship Program has provided 187 internship opportunities for young Turkish Americans at Congressional offices throughout Washington, DC. Designed to enhance Turkish American participation in political life, the program provides an opportunity for young Turkish Americans to live and work in the nation’s capital, learn about the American political process, contribute to U.S.-Turkey relations and the TCA mission, and explore career opportunities in public affairs.

TCA accepts qualified applicants to the program and then facilitates their placement as interns on Capitol Hill, at TCA or at other DC-based nonprofit organizations. Interns will receive a monthly stipend for the duration of the internship.
