The Center for Progressive Leadership (CPL) is looking for diverse college students and other young leaders from across the country to apply for our New Leaders Program. CPL’s New Leaders Program works to change the face of tomorrow’s political leadership by connecting young people of color and women to paid internship opportunities with progressive organizations in Washington, DC.
Apply today to be a 2007 Summer New Leader
Who are New Leaders?
The New Leaders Program is for young people who are passionate about creating social justice and equality in our society. Program participants are linked to paid internships with progressive organizations in DC ranging from policy and research work to advocacy and organizing to media relations and on-line publications. As a New Leader, you will receive:
10-Week Paid Internship: Once you’ve been accepted into the program, we help match you with a paid internship in Washington, DC. The internship will take place from June 11 – August 17, 2007. We’re focused on putting you in a position where you’ll find the work rewarding and the cause personally meaningful.
Leadership Development: As a New Leader, you will have a variety of opportunities to grow as a leader, network with members of the progressive community, and build the skills and connections you need to deepen your involvement in progressive causes:
Training and Workshops: During your internship, you attend a variety of sessions led by leaders in the progressive movement designed to provide you with the tools and techniques you need to become an effective political leader.
Networking Events: You’ll regularly have the chance to meet leaders in the progressive movement and create lasting relationships with mentors and advisors from throughout Washington.
Mentoring/Career Coaching: You’ll be personally matched to a leader in the progressive community who will provide ongoing support and career counseling during your internship and beyond.
What do young leaders think of the New Leaders Program?
“I was 17 when it hit me that, as an Asian American woman, I would never be President of the United States. I set my sights on becoming a veterinarian instead. The New Leaders Program has rekindled my dream of running for elected office. I can totally see myself in the Senate someday.” - Roheeni Saxena, 2006 New Leader
“The New Leaders Program has inspired me to further explore the advancement of progressive policies and particularly the protection of civil rights.” - Claudia Montelongo, 2006 New Leader
“This summer has been busy! I’m a Press Intern for Congressman Wynn, a Policy Intern for the National AIDS Housing Coalition, a volunteer canvasser for a DC mayoral campaign, and — most importantly — I am a New Leader! I’ve learned so much about politics and policy, but most of all, I’ve learned about myself, my values, and how to build a career doing work I believe in.” - Sondra Spaulding, 2006 New Leader
