Internship
In 2017, CAGSAF launched our paid internship program. With the expansion of the program starting the summer of 2020, we seek 2 young alumnae to serve as interns for the ALA California Girls State Alumnae Foundation. This is a project-based, 160 hour paid ($2400) internship. The selected alumnae are required to have graduated high school one year prior to the start of the internship. In other words, the alumnae have completed their first year of college.
Past Junior Counselors are not eligible to apply.
ALA Girls State will be held virtually in 2021 so we will not be seeking interns this year.
