Capital Fellows
These post-baccalaureate programs administered by the Center for California Studies at California State University, Sacramento, are an outstanding opportunity for college graduates to engage in public service and prepare for future careers.
Panetta Congressional Internship
The Panetta Institute’s annual Congressional Internship Program takes place in Fall semester and combines a rigorous two-week academic orientation to national politics and protocol at the Panetta Institute in Monterey, CA, with an eleven-week experiential education as a Panetta intern in a Washington, D.C. office of a California member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Sacramento Semester
The CSU-wide Sac Semester Program is a wonderful opportunity for students throughout our system to live and learn California politics in Sacramento.
