“

I'm a parent, and wanted to help build a better government for my daughters and future generations. The PIF program opened my eyes to a diverse group of like-minded people ready, willing, and able to help in the cause — both during the Fellowship and well beyond in the PIF alumni community.

Henry Wei , 2012-2013 PIF, detailed to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
