The CAPA CEF Internship Program is a unique opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge of our democratic process by working directly in the office of an elected official or government departments and agencies in the East Bay and San Francisco areas.

The program is open to Asian American students who will be high school seniors or college students in Fall 2009, and are residents of Contra Costa, Alameda, or San Francisco Counties of California and reside in the area for the length of the program. No previous experience is required, but we require all interns have a desire to learn about our government, the democratic process, current events, and community service.

Interns are required to fulfill 100 hours in their elected official's office along with 20 additional community service hours. Each intern will also collaborate with their fellow interns to make a presentation at the spring gala, held annually to support CAPA CEF programs, including the Internship program.

Internship placements are available at local, county, and state levels and with elected officials belonging to various political parties. A stipend is provided to interns who successfully complete the program.
