PolitiCorps Summer is a political boot camp consisting of hands-on skills training, innovative public policy intensives, and real-world applications of leadership skills and campaign savvy. PolitiCorps Fellows learn new ways of thinking about the world. But PolitiCorps is not just a school of thought. PolitiCorps is a place where Fellows learn by doing: they register voters, organize communities, vet public policy white papers, launch media campaigns, and, at the end of the day, make an impact. It’s the only program of its kind—a political immersion and leadership training program designed to engage and prepare college students and recent graduates for a broad spectrum of progressive leadership activities.
PolitiCorps Summer selects 24 Fellows from throughout the country to participate in a 10 week summer bootcamp to learn advanced skills in leadership and grassroots organizing. These are the national leaders of the next generation. The first 12 Fellows have been invited. We are currently reviewing applications for the final 12.
