“This fellowship is a great opportunity for a student interested in California government and policy. Successful candidates will work in a lawmaker’s office and get a behind-the-scenes look at the legislative process in action,” Wilk said in a news release. “Fellows will walk away with first-hand knowledge of crafting policy, connections in the Capitol, stories to share, and an all-around great learning experience. Good luck to all applicants.”
Fellows will be given the opportunity to develop close working relationships with legislators, advocates, and agency representatives that may result in future employment and/or educational opportunities. Fellows also will receive a $2,500 stipend (including a $1,000 housing stipend) and a public transportation pass.
The Caucus will select two fellows for the Summer 2022 cycle (August to September) in Sacramento, California. Pending changes to public health orders, the fellowship program will require in-person attendance in the State Capitol for up to 30 hours per week.
To apply, candidates must submit a 1,000-word personal statement explaining what interests them about public service and what they hope to learn and achieve if selected to serve as a fellow for the California Armenian Legislative Caucus. Applicants must also submit two letters of recommendation, school transcripts (unofficial or official), and proof of full vaccination.

Working tirelessly to address the needs of Armenian immigrants and refugees: Scott Wilk, Republican.
LOLOLOLOL…where’s the “but muh borders!!!” reactionary bigots now?
FWB says
I’d like to suggest actually teaching people how to drive before giving them a drivers license.
Tim Scott says
Are you volunteering? I mean, in theory the test is supposed to verify that the person has been “taught how to drive,” so apparently there are people out there doing this teaching, but I’m sure we could use more/better.
FWB says
no probably not.. it’s scary enough when I have to drive.
remember I mentioned DMV employees were giving passing test for money awhile back.
