Roosevelt Policy Academy

The Roosevelt Summer Academy

The Roosevelt Summer Academy combines a full-time internship with a training curriculum and weekly networking events as part of an integrated program of leadership development. Our objective is to bring new, diverse, and progressive voices into the political process. The program runs for ten weeks, from June 9 to August 15.

During the summer of 2009, we'll be running two concurrent programs: The Washington Academy and The Chicago Academy. The Washington Academy will place a total of twenty students at the Roosevelt Institution's national office as well as at organizations like the Center for American Progress, the Economic Policy Institute, the Brookings Institute, National Security Network, and many others. The Chicago Academy will place ten students with different Chicago City Agencies to work on energy and environmental policy in an urban setting.

Each fellowship comes with a minimum $1500 stipend. Applicants with financial need may qualify for additional funding. We are deeply committed to assembling a diverse group of Academy Fellows and will work with each person accordingly.

Applications are now closed. Thank you for your interest.
