Information Session on Registration and Applications

Broaden horizons. Discover potential. Open doors to the future.

What if you could step into the rooms where decisions shape the world?

Imagine standing at the heart of American policymaking—a setting you may have seen only in movies—hearing directly from people shaping the national conversation and discovering how your generation can make its own mark.

APAICS and HELLO TAIWAN are joining forces to present their first public information session for the Asian American community. Students and parents are warmly invited to join us on October 23 to explore the 2027 Youth Leadership Academy (YLA) and the 2027 Congressional Internship Program, including program activities, eligibility requirements, and how to prepare a strong application.
