The Public Policy Fellowship program places interested Alaska Natives in partnering legislative offices in Juneau, Alaska. The goal of the legislative fellowship is for emerging Native leaders to become familiar with the legislative process; gain an understanding their own histories; learn and use the skill of past, present and future leadership; and learn about emerging issues confronting Alaska Natives and the State of Alaska. Like the Summer Internship Program, participants will have a real work experience giving them hands-on experience with the legislative and political process.
