Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Fellowships

With a new generation of social advocates and policy makers changing the landscape on Capitol Hill, it is important to provide them with the tools necessary to conduct positive change. For more than two decades, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) has groomed motivated young adults into tomorrow's talented thought leaders. It is also one of the nation's largest provider of internships, scholarships, and fellowships to African Americans and persons of color.

A New Generation of Promise, by Sean Nixon, a 2009 CBCF Communications Intern, describes the program and the experiences of current Fellows, as the April 16 deadline approaches for next year's round of applications.
