Conference on Asian Pacific American Leadership Summer Internships
CAPAL is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-partisan, educational organization that was founded in 1989 by APA professionals in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Its mission is to promote Asian Pacific American interests and success in public sector careers, to provide information and education on policy issues affecting the APA community, and to serve the APA community at large.
The Conference on Asian Pacific American Leadership (CAPAL), in partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture will award eight (8) internships with stipends to outstanding Asian Pacific American (APA) students committed to scientific research, environment, health, nutrition, safety, public service and management. Two interns each will be placed at the following four agencies: Forest Service, Agriculture Research Service, Rural Development and Food Safety and Inspection Service.
These internship positions are open to ALL MAJORS, and are suited for individuals looking to gain real-world federal government experience. Specifically, CAPAL offers a diverse set of opportunities for acquiring public policy and management skills at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Depending on your interests and placement, your duties could vary from policy or scientific research, project coordination and management, business, law, communication, and more. Applicants are asked to specify their preferences on the application, and those selected will be placed based on their interests and skills. Agricultural knowledge is not required. CAPAL will also mentor all selected interns and provide guidance in transitioning to Washington, D.C. including how to locate housing, how to navigate the city, and how to make the best of their summer in the nation's capital.
