ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Since 2017, the APIs Mobilize College Legislative Internship Program has provided undergraduate students with the opportunity to serve as part of a legislative team while gaining hands-on experience in public service and civic leadership. Students with an interest in public policy, community engagement, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander history and communities, or related fields of study are encouraged to apply.
Interns are placed in Congressional or State Legislative Offices in the Greater Los Angeles area for the summer of 2026. Through the program, students gain firsthand experience with the legislative process, public policy, and constituent services. The program is designed to help students develop leadership skills, deepen their understanding of the legislative process, and explore careers in public service.

- Researching public policy and legislation
- Drafting statements and other written materials
