Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Public Policy Fellowship

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) was established in 1978 by members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus as a non-profit, non-partisan educational organization dedicated to developing the next generation of Latino leaders.

Every year, the nine-month Fellowship Program (late August to late May) offers up to 20 talented Latinos from across the country the opportunity to gain hands-on experience at the national level in the public policy area of their choice with the General Public Policy Fellowship. Fellows have the opportunity to work in such areas as international affairs, economic development, education policy, housing, or local government. The Fellowship program has work, community service, and leadership development components. CHCI provides participants with: domestic round-trip transportation to Washington, DC, health insurance, and a gross monthly stipend of $2,200 to help cover housing and local expenses.
