PolitiCorps
Summer Program
Website: http://www.politicorps.org
Deadline: Rolling
admissions through early June, annually
Important Notes: Extensive
campaign experience is not a prerequisite for PolitiCorps—but
an understanding of campaign lifestyle does help Fellows
make the most of the Summer Institute experience.
Eligibility: PolitiCorps
Fellows are college seniors or recent graduates from diverse
backgrounds who have demonstrated commitment to progressive
values and a deep interest in the political process and
public policy. Candidates with alternative educational
experiences are also welcome to apply. PolitiCorps Fellows
come from every state in the nation, and from a diverse
range of experiential and cultural backgrounds.
Description: PolitiCorps
is a 10-week political boot camp, and 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 life
of public service through a combination of skills and policy
classes, intensive field work, strategic planning exercises,
and access to a broad network of activists, strategists,
and policymakers. PolitiCorps allows college graduates find
meaningful jobs and internships with socially responsible
organizations
and campaigns, and is a way for college students and
recent graduates to jumpstart their careers in public interest
work.
