Your Congressional District*

Please remember that we are focusing our outreach on key committee members in the House and Senate, and as such are inviting applications from those who LIVE or WORK in the corresponding states and congressional districts. To see the list of those key states and districts, visit www.nafsa.org/advocacytargets The qualifying congressional districts are listed in the drop down menu below. If you do not see your congressional district included, that is because it is not a key congressional district at this time and unless your state is a qualifying one, you are not eligible to apply. If you are not eligible, there are still other ways to take meaningful advocacy actions with NAFSA. Be sure to sign up for our Connecting Our World newsletter to stay abreast of our year-round advocacy opportunities, including training that will be available to all: https://www.nafsa.org/policy-and-advocacy/take-action/join-us If you are not sure of your congressional district, enter your address to find it here: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative If you are applying because you live in a key state, please select, "N/A--I am eligible on the basis of my home state."
