Asian American Stories Events
2025 Summer Internship Opportunity for Students
Silicon Valley, CA — Asian American Stories , a community initiative under Silicon Valley Community Media, is offering a 6-week summer internship for Bay Area high school and college students.
Following the success of our video contests — “All of Us Belong Here” (2024) and “My Gift to America” (2025) — the Asian American Stories 1-Minute Video Contest has become a signature annual Bay Area event.
These campaigns united hundreds of participants to celebrate the diversity of the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community.
To involve more youth in our storytelling mission, we’re launching a Summer Student Internship Program.
This unpaid 6-week program gives students valuable experience in event promotion, community outreach, and content creation — while uplifting AAPI voices.

- Promoting and recruiting participants for the AAS 1-Minute Video Contest
- Participating in the video contest
- Creating social media content related to AAPI storytelling
Internship Benefits:
- Verified community service hours
- Certificate of completion
- Opportunity to join AAS as a long-term volunteer
Timeline:
- June 22: Orientation (Online)
- June 23 – August 3: Remote Internship Period (Weekdays)
- August 3: Closing Ceremony (On-site)

- Current high school or college students in the Bay Area
- Passion for promoting Asian American stories
