CAP's Leadership Institute goal is to increase the participation of
progressive people of color among the thinkers, shapers, and planners of
policy at every level of government, nonprofit organizations, and groups
that influence public policy.
We will assist members in developing:
- Links and networks between the members and the progressive policy
world, including grassroots organizations, media, and government
- Methods to introduce policy ideas to diverse groups and move policy
ideas from inception to permanent mainstream change by employing field
operations, research analysis, legislation, nonprofit collaborations, and
tactical messaging
Program dates
The second Leadership Institute will begin September 11, 2014 and continue
through May 15, 2015. Sessions will be held on a monthly basis. Program
dates will be made available before the program starts.
Coursework and curricula
The Institute will present a program of engagement for members that
includes seminars, policy organization observation, visits to policy and
media hubs, networking events, dinner discussions, and an assigned policy
project.
Session topics will include:
- Executive Leadership and Strategic Planning
- Communications: Messaging, Media, and Outreach
- Progressive History
- The Role of Polling and Research
- Development and Grantwriting
- Policies for a Changing Nation: America in 2050
- Immigration
- Poverty Reduction
- Civil Rights and Justice
- International and National Security
- Lobbying and Government Affairs
Participant profile
Leadership Institute applicants should be highly motivated individuals
seeking to expand their skills, perspectives, and networks to impact
progressive social change. Successful applicants will have a demonstrated
interest in filling the gaps that exist between traditional public policies
and communities of color. All members must have at least three years of
experience in policy or public service fields. If currently employed,
applicants should secure written support from a supervisor affirming their
participation in the program's activities. It's highly preferable that
members live in the Washington, D.C., area or be capable of commuting to
the area for monthly two-day meetings during the program period.
