We work with experts from both sides of the aisle to empower voters with reliable facts and a framework to make their own informed decisions. Our leadership programs identify and prepare students and early‑career professionals from both parties for decision‑making positions on Capitol Hill, in the executive branch, and in other public service roles. Our core policy areas include fiscal issues such as the national debt and the federal budget, and entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare.

They will be self‑motivated, proactive, and creative, ready to contribute to the growth of alumni engagement through in‑person and virtual opportunities.
Core Responsibilities
Assist with creating and rolling out the organization’s alumni program, focusing on continuing policy education and professional development opportunities.
