APA Congressional Fellowship

The APA Congressional Fellowship is a prestigious program designed to enhance the participation of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) individuals in the U.S. legislative process. It offers selected candidates the opportunity to work for a year in congressional offices, gaining hands-on experience in policy-making and government operations. The fellowship aims to promote AAPI representation and understanding within Congress, allowing fellows to contribute their perspectives while building valuable skills and professional networks. Participants often return to their communities to advocate for issues impacting AAPI populations, thereby strengthening civic engagement and leadership in these communities.
