To learn more about our interns, please check out our 2021 AAPD Summer Interns’ bios. The following participants are highlighted in order: We hope you learn from them as we have in the past couple of weeks. The series aims to uplift and center the stories of our interns. Throughout the Summer Internship Program, AAPD focuses on storytelling as a form of advocacy. Lastly, interns receive opportunities to attend events, community events, briefings, and more.
The Certificate Program is a 3-credit optional course where interns learn about key issues in the disability community and develop skills to advocate on the local, state, and national levels. Throughout the summer, interns are also required to participate in the Disability Advocacy Certificate Program. As a result, we connect our host employers to talented emerging leaders with disabilities.Īt the beginning of summer, interns participate in a 1-week orientation session to acclimate to AAPD, meet their peers, and learn about the disability rights movement. During the summer, each intern is matched with a mentor who provides them with career guidance. AAPD places college students, graduate students, law students, and recent graduates with all types of disabilities in paid summer internships with Congressional offices, federal agencies, nonprofit and for-profit organizations. The internship program is a 10-week leadership and career development opportunity for interns with disabilities.
The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) is proud to present our 2021 Portrait of Empowerment series, which features our AAPD Summer Interns.įor Summer 2021, AAPD hosted the Summer Internship Program virtually.
