First Alaskans Institute is pleased to announce our recruitment for the 2018 Public Policy Fellowship to place up to two Alaska Native or rural Alaskans in Juneau from January to April 2018 during the Legislative session.
The goal of the legislative fellowship is for young Native leaders to become familiar with the legislative process, to understand their own histories and how their cultures inform their own leadership, and to learn how emerging policy issues impact Alaska Native peoples, communities and the State of Alaska. Participants will gain meaningful work experience while also supporting the flow of information between the our State Capital and Alaska Native communities.
Timeline and important dates:
§ Application deadline: December 1, 2017
§ Final selection of fellows: December 15, 2017
§ First Alaskans Institute Training: January 8 – 9, 2018 (TBA – Juneau)
§ Legislative Ethics Training: January 11 – 12, 2018 (TBA – Juneau)
