About the
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 
Internship

Serve. Educate. Empower.

The National HEP/CAMP Association has partnered with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to offer a 10-week summer internship in Washington, D.C. to students from farmworker backgrounds. Interns will work 40 hours/week in various USDA Agencies.

​

There is NO LIMIT to the number of student applications that can be submitted by any given program.

​

2024 Timeline TBA

​

These internships are open to current CAMP students, alumni, and HEP graduates attending a post-secondary institution.  Those with agriculture-related academic programs should be strongly encouraged to apply, but keep in mind, that the USDA is a massive bureaucracy and has needs in a multitude of positions covering almost every college and university discipline.

 

This is a separate internship from the Association’s summer internship program and does not include CHCI’s orientation week or Friday leadership seminars.  It is a 9:00-5:00 M-F internship,  and applicants must be able to live and work independently.  This is a wonderful opportunity, especially for our HEP/CAMP alumni that may be further along in their academic programs.
