So do you need to go to California for the internship?

It's a great program, every DREAMers should apply!

no, the states are mentioned. however, you need to be in L.A for a two day opening retreat on June and a two day closing retreat on august

it sounds great but I feel that I won't get it coz I'm not as "out" as other dreamers. I'm still afraid, and as much as I want to be active behind the scenes, I have a feeling the prize would go to those who are really on the front lines of rallies and stuff.

I live in California! How old do you have to be? Other requirements?

Ah just noticed it says leaders :/
