Empowering Iranian American youth to make an impact
Ansari Public Service
Fellowship is open!
The Ansari Public Service Fellowship supports Iranian American students and recent graduates as they learn about public service.
During the internship, fellows receive a stipend, professional mentorship, and the opportunity to connect and learn from Iranian American experts.
“Civic participation shapes our lives in innumerable ways: it builds connections with our neighbors, it determines if our local school serves our needs and if the trash gets picked up on time, and it influences state and national policies. It is a muscle that needs to be encouraged and cultivated for all of us in a democratic society.
Encouraging young Iranian Americans to engage with their community will make for lifelong civic engagement and a stronger America.”
