Thanks to the Institute for Responsible Citizenship for sponsoring 
this
program. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step"

Please share this information with your family, friends and your 
church.

Let's get the word out and help our young men. I'm sure someone can 
benefit
from this. Please read everything!!!

The Institute for Responsible Citizenship is currently accepting 
applications
for its summer program at Georgetown University in Washington , DC . 
Each
summer, 12 of the most promising young minority male college 
sophomores 
in
the country (possibly 24 this coming summer) are given the chance to 
travel
to the nation's capital and engage in prestigious internships while 
taking
rigorous classes at Georgetown . The courses in government and 
economics are
designed to provide these young men with the skills necessary to 
critically
analyze the world's problems while adhering to a deep respect for 
civil
liberties. When the students are not in class or at work, they are 
often
called upon to attend social functions designed to help them network 
in 
their
field.

Personal meetings with such leaders as Colin Powell, John Lewis, and 
Clarence
Thomas are made possible by the intimate nature of the program.
The program runs from June 3 - July 28 and is a two-summer commitment
(accommodations are made for students on the quarter system).

During their first summer, students' primary responsibilities 
outside 
of
their internships are their academic courses. The following summer, 
in
addition to their internships, mentorship with the latest cohort of 
Institute
students and young high school students becomes a priority.

Tuition and housing are paid for by the Institute, while students are
expected to pay for their transportation and food. In addition, 
those 
not
placed in paid internships will receive a stipend in the amount of 
$2500.

While there are no major requirements, the program focuses on 
attracting
young men interested in the fields of law, politics, business, 
academics, and
the ministry. You should be a sophomore to apply, however, juniors 
are
considered if they are committed to attending graduate or 
professional 
school
directly following their senior year. To give you an idea of the 
kind 
of
students we have in our program, here are some statistics from our 
2006
cohort:

GPA Range : 3.02 - 3.97 Average: 3.65 Leadership in at least one 
post 
held at
time of application More information, along with the application, 
can 
be
found on the web at < http://www.i4rc.org/ <http://www.i4rc.org/>
