Begin your path toward becoming one of our nation’s future changemakers. Recent college graduates can take advantage of this paid fellowship, which opens doors for talented young Latinos and individuals deeply committed to advancing the Latino community who are interested in gaining public policy experience and advancing their careers. You will spend nine months working in Washington, D.C., with exposure to leaders in congressional offices, federal agencies, national nonprofit advocacy organizations, and the private sector—growing both personally and professionally during your fellowship experience.
This nine-month paid program helps talented Latinos gain public policy experience and accelerate their careers as emerging leaders. Applicants to the Public Policy Fellowship Program must have earned a bachelor’s degree in any field within three years of the program start date.
As a CHCI Public Policy Fellow, you will immerse yourself in the legislative process, spending four days each week learning all facets of public policy. Once a week, you will join the Fellowship cohort for a full day of leadership development centered on CHCI’s four Pillars of Leadership—Self Discovery, Transformation through Collective Power, Rooted in my Strength, and Planting Seeds for Tomorrow. The CHCI pillars provide the foundation for culturally relevant programming with timely content to create opportunities, transform, influence, and connect the next generation of Latino leaders. Weekly programming will refine your leadership abilities, affirm your career goals and area of focus, and allow you to spend time discussing policy issues of national concern.
Your weekly programming will also prepare you to fully understand policy issues facing the Latino community and how to propose effective solutions by critically examining all sides and implications of these issues.
