This is the fifth year of the CAPBL Internship Program. This year will be a project based internship program in which interns will learn a large amount about the functions of State and the various programs we run throughout the year. Interns will gain a behind the scenes look at what it means to be a State Officer, and a chance to get to know the State Management Team (State Officers and Advisors Board). There are a number of different areas that an intern can apply to in the application. You will work with one state officer whom you're interested in working with.

Each of the state officers will take up to three interns for the program and you will work directly with them over the course of the year.

Please find the application and FAQs below.

Alumni Connection Program

In the spirit of California FBLA Collegiate, the Alumni Connection Program (ACP) enables alumni to share their professional and personal experience and expertise with current FBLA members. The connections made in the program help prepare our students for a successful future and leave a lasting impact on our community.

FBLA members can expect to attend virtual speaker series and workshops by respected alumni mentor who are working in diverse industry from non-profit, startups, consulting and Fortune 500. With an access to alumni database, members can utilize this to bridge between alumni and members to expand their interest in specific industry and network.

As an alumni mentor, mentor will have the opportunity to advise member(s) on academic guidance, career advice and personal development. We encourage mentors and mentees to connect on a regular basis (i.e. once a month). However, the frequency and form of communication are things you both can determine.

Questions pertaining to programs and opportunities may be addressed to Harrison Kim, Director of Membership at harrison@capbl.org. 

Leaders Council

The Leaders' Council is a group of volunteer chapter representatives (typically the president of each chapter) who will receive information from the State Leadership Team to share with their home chapters. Furthermore, the members will also have the opportunity to share information, ask questions, and discuss ideas with the State Leadership Team in order to communicate clearly what each chapter is looking for from the officers. Finally, this will also be a networking opportunity for all of the participants.
