Application for Leadership Institute Fellowship at The Center for American Progress is Now Open
This nation is undergoing rapid demographic changes with increasing racial and ethnic diversity sweeping across the land. As the impacts of these transformational changes are recognized, policymakers are confronted with opportunities and challenges in crafting public policies that benefit all Americans.
The Center for American Progress’s Leadership Institute seeks to shape the development and implementation of progressive public policies by increasing the ranks of policy experts drawn from communities of color. Our goal is to increase the participation of racial and ethnic minorities—who are vital to the nation’s future growth and prosperity—among the thinkers, shapers, and planners at every level of government, nonprofit organizations, media, and other groups that influence public policy.
We are now accepting applications for the upcoming class of 2015 Leadership Institute Fellows.

To have any questions answered or to learn more about the benefits of the program, feel free to contact Sam Fulwood III, Director of the Leadership Institute, at sfulwood@americanprogress.org.
