Partners of the Americas’ Legislative Fellows Program builds on decades of sustained programs that connect people, institutions and communities to serve and change lives throughout the Western Hemisphere. The program facilitates approximately 75 reciprocal professional exchanges that provide the opportunity for participants to examine the relationship between civil society and government and the issue of public corruption and accountability. Participants are hosted by organizations who are actively engaged in issues of transparency and legislative processes. They work closely with colleagues on related projects and build their professional capacity through site visits, volunteer projects, and on-the-job training.
