IMPACT! Filipino-American Internship Program for Summer 2024

The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco invites young Filipino Americans to join the IMPACT! Filipino-American Internship Program for Summer 2024.

The IMPACT! Program is a nine-week professional development program created by the U.S.-Asia Institute (USAI) in coordination with the Philippine Embassy in Washington D.C. and the Filipino Young Leaders Program (FYLPRO), which allows young Filipino American adults to have a first-hand look at the U.S. government in Washington D.C., engage with government and political leaders, and reflect on the role they, as future leaders, might play in strengthening Philippines-U.S. relations.

The internship program is open to U.S. citizens of Filipino descent and dual U.S./Philippine citizens, aged 18 to 25 years old, and enrolled as a full-time undergraduate or graduate student with a good academic standing or recently completed an undergraduate degree.

Selected participants will receive the “Filipino American Youth Political Leadership Award” in the form of a $2,000-stipend. They will be responsible for all expenses, including travel, housing (inexpensive housing options are available at the suggestion of the USAI); food; and others. After acceptance into the program, participants must also show proof of health insurance and sign a liability waiver.

Young Filipino Americans are highly encouraged to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to serve and lead. Interested candidates may apply at http://tinyurl.com/3vp4tcts until 31 January 2024, 9:00 p.m. Pacific Time (10:00 p.m. Mountain Time, 8:00 p.m. Alaska Time).
