2020 CKA-KALCA PSI Program
The fifth annual CKA-KALCA Public Service Internship Program (PSI) will provide generous scholarships of up to $3,500* (per student) for undergraduate upperclassmen, graduate students, and recent graduates to finance their unpaid, summer internships in Washington, DC and New York City.
In addition to covering the cost of living, the program will assist students in securing internships at the federal, state and local government; major think tanks and foundations; and community-based nonprofit organizations.
We also provide high-impact leadership training and exclusive mentoring opportunities throughout the summer featuring CKA members, thought leaders, and policymakers.
