Just saw this:
The Roosevelt Institute's Campus Network Summer Academy combines a full-time internship with a training curriculum and weekly networking events as part of an integrated program of leadership development.
Their objective is to bring new, diverse, and progressive voices into the political process.
The program runs for 10 weeks, from June 3rd to August 12th, 2010.
During the summer of 2009, Roosevelt ran two concurrent programs: The Washington, DC Academy and The Chicago, IL Academy.
Each fellowship comes with a minimum $1500 stipend. Applicants with financial need may qualify for additional funding. The Roosevelt Institute is deeply committed to assembling a diverse group of Academy Fellows and will work with each person accordingly.
The program includes trainings, such as: policy 101, communications, online organizing and social media, field organizing, lobbying and fundraising, and coalition building.
It also includes guest speakers. Past speakers include: Greg Ehrendreich from Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, Adele Simmons from Chicago Climate Action Plan, and Paige Finnegan from LEED Council.
More info and application details available here. Deadline is February 26, 2010.
