Interested in building progressive power here at Columbia? Young People For is a leadership training initiative made by People For the American Way, a national progressive advocacy organization. The Young People For Fellowship provides motivated individuals across the country seeking social change the resources necessary to effect change on their campuses. All fellows receive an all-expense paid trip to the National Summit for Young Progressive Leaders in Washington, D.C. from January 17-21, 2008.

Applications are due Monday the 15th of October!

Many former fellows are now powerful members of our student body, including the presidents of the Black Students Organization and the Columbia Queer Alliance. (And they are pretty kick ass people.) As for us, both Mar and I are thinking seriously of applying.

Join us!
