Cross-Cultural Leadership Internship Program

The Cross-Cultural Leadership Intern Program (CCLIP) was developed in order to engage students in real world applications of their academic studies through exposure to the diverse needs of the Los Angeles and Chicago Latino communities. Students will be immersed as interns in community-based organizations in the neighborhoods of Chicago and Los Angeles for eight weeks to live as members of, learn from, and serve the Latino community. Successful applicants must have a strong interest in issues facing the Latino community.
