A.N.G.L.E. Internship

This internship is limited geographically to Southern California.  This limitation is intended to foster the networking aspect of the internship whereby the Foundation will facilitate interaction between interns to share their individual progress and receive additional specialized skills education and training from local community leaders.


The application for the 2011 A.N.G.L.E. Summer Internship consists of four parts:
