Interested in joining the WAYK team? Here you will find the application for WAYK’s 2020 Summer Intensive. Before you begin the application, please note, you will be asked to supply the following: recent work history, educational background, language proficiency, and three professional references. We also offer the option to submit a portion of your application by video, if you prefer. You can find instructions for submitting the video portion of your application below.

Make sure that you have read our posts about the summer projectabout the available internshipsabout the summer schedule, about the Summer Intensive expectations, and the frequently asked questions about our internships before you begin the application process.

N.B. This year, our application is going out later than usual, due to an extended planning period this fall. As a result, we will have a very short application window. Our Summer Intensive will also be a bit shorter than usual and start a little later, so we will still have approximately the same amount of time between finalizing the WAYK team and the start of the project.
