The Washington Leadership Program is a national non-profit organization that is developing the next generation of American leadership from the South Asian community. The program takes promising college students and places them in Congressional offices and government agencies for an eight-week summer internship accompanied by a structured leadership curriculum. Students then complete a leadership project applying their learning from the summer and are inducted into a leadership community currently made up of nearly 200 alumni from the 18 years of the program.
