Internship
Serve. Educate. Empower.
The National HEP/CAMP Association has partnered with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to offer a paid 10-week summer internship in Washington, D.C. to students from farmworker backgrounds. Interns will work in various USDA agencies 40 hours/week from Monday to Friday and must be available to work during core business hours between 6:30 am – 6:00 pm Eastern Time.
​
There is NO LIMIT to the number of student applications that can be submitted by any given program.
​
January: Application opens
February 29: Application due & reviewed
March/April: Internship candidates selected
Internship Program Date: May 25 - August 3
​
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.
