Tapping APA's advocacy resources
APA offers several ways for students to get involved with advocacy and stay updated on issues affecting the field.
Students interested in getting involved can:
 Contact your APAGS Advocacy Coordinating Team (ACT) campus representative,
state advocacy coordinator or regional advocacy coordinator, who are listed at www.apa.org/apags/advocacy/act.html,
to see how you can get involved on your campus.
Join APA's Public Policy Advocacy Network (PPAN)—an e-mail network
that provides updates via action alerts on public policy initiatives pertaining to APA advocacy efforts. For information, visit
www.apa.org/ppo/ppan/.
Visit the APA Practice Directorate Web site at www.apa.org/practice/.
Sign up for the monthly e-mail newsletter Science Policy Insider News to
stay informed on policies that affect psychological science. To
join, visit www.apa.org/ppo/spin/.
Consider fellowship and internship opportunities through APA's Public Policy
Office, in which students can work on public interest policy issues or serve as a special legislative assistant for a member of Congress or an assistant
in an executive branch research funding or coordinating office. For more information, visit www.apa.org/ppo/funding/.
