Community Impact Fellowship

“The internship program has provided me grounding when I felt the most insecure. Through APSC’s support I gained a network of supporters, mentors and importantly the skills I would need to thrive. I highly encourage anyone with the opportunity to do so, to take advantage of this program.”
