Internships

AAPI Data seeks to make policy research and demographic data on AAPIs more accessible to a range of audiences. We strive to keep our information current and useful, with data and research that are as rigorous and accurate as possible. We also regularly help journalists, community organizations, and decision makers make better sense of data and research.

The AAPI Data internship program gives undergraduate or graduate students an opportunity to participate in AAPI Data’s activities remotely. Interns will expand AAPI Data’s data repository, generate content for the Data Bits blog, or analyze data sets, amongst other possible projects—so we’re looking for writers, designers, and data scientists—motivated individuals that will help AAPI Data grow.
