The Central PA Congressional Internship Association (CPACIA) was created in 1977 as a community involvement initiative to provide financial sponsorship for college students from  the 10th Congressional District, to work in the offices of our Congressman each summer. This internship gives students a chance to be a part of the political process, with opportunities to attend congressional hearings, interact with constituents, research policy issues and provide support services to staff in district and in D.C.
