To ensure students are prepared for their life beyond high school, they must engage in the world today. All Juniors at Washington Leadership Academy (WLA) are required to complete an internship class to achieve this goal.

The mission of the Junior Internship is to engage students in career paths to help them explore current interests, uncover unknown interests, and ultimately narrow the focus of their pursuits post-secondary school.

Below are the resources necessary for successful completion of the 2021-2022 virtual or in-person internship experience, for students, their families, and our Host Supervisors.
