Closing Date: 6/1/2012
Description:
The program selects 24 students from across the country for a summer of high impact service, training, and life changing conversations. Hands-on democracy is our specialty. That means that PolitiCorps is a place where you learn… and do.
Fellows spend the first weeks of the program learning the nuts and bolts of effective people-powered politics. During that process, Fellows design their own 8 week mini campaign. Past groups have done massive things: registered thousands of voters, knocked on 25,000 doors to support marriage equality, and developed and experimented with a volunteer recruitment program.
PolitiCorps Summer 2012 will begin on June 18th. Check out www.politicorps.org for more, or email admissions@politicorps.org
WHO SHOULD APPLY
PolitiCorps Fellows are from all across the country; are between the ages of 20-24; come from a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and majors, and are ready to launch their careers in public service. All are smart, talented, and dedicated to the public interest. If you think the politics of the next generation is about collaboration, measurable results, visionary public policy, and a movement away from private interest and toward the public interest… you should apply.
