MPLP is a multi-partisan program for individuals committed to public service who want to learn more about practical politics, public policy analysis and process, personal leadership development and effective governance. Participants meet once a month for 10 weekend sessions. Since the program began in 1992, MPLP has graduated more than 250 fellows who have used the skills and relationships acquired through the program to benefit their communities. Alumni of the program tackle public policy issues as candidates for political office, as government officials or as citizen activists. Fellowships include meals, lodging and program materials.
Participants are responsible for their own transportation.
Applications are encouraged from interested persons of all ages, racial and cultural backgrounds, and political party affiliations. There are no educational requirements for participation. The deadline for submitting applications is Sept. 11, 2000. Selected applicants will be interviewed based on their written applications. Acceptances to the program will be announced in mid-November.
