Check out the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD)’s 2021 Portrait of Empowerment series, which features AAPD’s Summer Interns.
“For Summer 2021, AAPD hosted the Summer Internship Program virtually. The internship program is a 10-week leadership and career development opportunity for interns with disabilities. 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. During the summer, each intern is matched with a mentor who provides them with career guidance. We recruit a diverse cohort of interns. As a result, we connect our host employers to talented emerging leaders with disabilities.”
