AAHI seeks interns during the summer, fall, and spring semesters to join our diverse team. As an intern, you’ll have the unique opportunity to gain experience and valuable insights into the dynamics of public health in a government setting.

As an AAHI intern, you’ll be an integral part of our projects and gain practical experience working on real-world initiatives and programs.

Some of the tasks you may be involved in include:

• Social Media Outreach: Assist in content developing and executing social media campaigns to raise awareness about important health issues within our community.
• Creative Projects: Engage in exciting projects like designing interactive activities for youth for an event.

Our previous internship program has led to several notable projects that have significantly contributed to AAHI’s mission. Some of these projects include:

• Program Recommendations: Focus on addressing Intellectual and Physical Disabilities, offering valuable recommendations to enhance our program’s inclusivity and support for individuals and families facing these challenges.
• Culturally Responsive Resource Booklet: An essential resource designed to promote cultural responsiveness within the community, offering information on various topics pertaining to Asian American culture.

• AAPI Heritage Month Kids Corner Activity Development: An interactive and educational activity specifically designed to engage youth during AAPI Heritage Month, fostering a sense of cultural pride and understanding.

We welcome students and recent graduates who are enthusiastic about Public Health, Behavioral Health, Education, or any other related field to apply to our internship program.
