Capital Fellows are placed at some of the highest levels of California state government and assist state legislators, senior-level executive staff, and court administrators with a broad range of public policy issues and projects and are typically given assignments with a significant amount of responsibility and challenges.
Each year, 18 Assembly Fellows, 18 Senate Fellows, 18 Executive Fellows and 10 Judicial Fellows actively contribute to the development and implementation of public policy in California. Fellows work 10 to 11 months as full-time staff members in the California State Assembly, California State Senate, California Executive Branch or the California Judiciary. They participate in policymaking, program development, and program implementation.
