CBCF Fellows work across congressional and committee offices during their two-year tenure in D.C. During the first-year office placement, fellows gain invaluable experience as they assist in the development of legislative and public policy initiatives in CBC Member Offices. During the second half of the program, fellows transition to a congressional committee. The committee placement complements their experience in a member’s office and provides the fellows with a full view of the legislative process.
