ANCA Leo Sarkisian Summer Internship Application
Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in the ANCA Leo Sarkisian (LSI) Summer Internship Program in Washington DC. The 2025 program will run from
June 16th to July 25th.
The application deadline is
March 31, 2025.
Established in 1986, the LSI Program has been a cornerstone of the ANCA’s nationwide efforts to educate, motivate, and activate Armenian American youth to expand advocacy efforts in their home towns and campuses.
During the six-week Washington, DC program, interns live at the Aramian House, located a short distance from the ANCA National Headquarters. The participants work on a wide variety of projects based on their individual interests, while gaining hands-on experience within the American political system. A bi-weekly lecture series features guest lecturers including Members of Congress, ambassadors, and Armenian American leaders.
Following please find the online application and instructions to guide you through the submission process. Please read them carefully and do not hesitate to contact us with questions.
We look forward to working with you soon.
Sincerely,
Tatevik Khachatryan
ANCA Leo Sarkisian Internship Program Associate Director
