Summer 2008 Nikkei Community Internship

The California Japanese American Community Leadership Council (CJACLC) announces the 2008 Nikkei Community Internship (NCI) program. Now in its 7th year, 77 interns and 15+ Japanese American community groups in Los Angeles and the Bay Area have participated in the NCI program. Applications for NCI 2008 are now available for prospective interns and organizations.

The participation of young people is one of the keys to sustaining the rich culture and traditions of the Japanese American heritage. The goal of NCI is to provide cultural exposure and develop the next generation of community leaders by:

1.      Giving young people greater exposure to opportunities and needs in the Japanese American community,

2.      Promoting interaction and networking between existing Nikkei organizations and institutions,

3.      Connecting interns with mentors in the Japanese American community, who inspire and pique their interest in the work of community organizations, and

4.      Providing a fun learning experience that creates energy and a desire to participate in the Japanese American community and other communities to which they belong.

The program runs from June 22 through August 15, 2008. Interns spend four days a week working on Nikkei community projects, and one day in cultural training and leadership development activities. Interns will receive an educational scholarship of up to $2,000. Applicants must be age 18 by the start of the program, have a strong interest in community work and a desire to develop leadership skills. Applications are due Friday, March 7, 2008.

NCI is funded through grants from the Union Bank of California Foundation, as well as many other generous donations from various community sponsors. The program is coordinated by the Little Tokyo Service Center in Los Angeles and the Japanese Community Youth Council in San Francisco.

For more information and an application, please check www.nikkeiyouth.org or contact Geoffrey Tsudama at the Little Tokyo Service Center (213) 473-1687 or gtsudama@ltsc.org.
