Program Overview

Picture yourself a year from now: a graduate of the Leaders Launchpad internship, confidently engaging with local and state leaders, with hands-on grassroots experience and a strong grasp of America’s founding principles and citizenship. You can clearly articulate and debate your views, and you’re prepared to lead through practical training and mentorship in servant leadership—alongside a lasting network of like-minded peers.

All this in under 10 hours a week. You don’t have to pause your school, work, or life, or be involved full-time in politics in order to be an informed and engaged American citizen equipped to lead in whatever life calling you pursue.

“Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”

—President Ronald Reagan
