Hello John!
We’re excited to announce that The
Heritage Foundation is accepting applications for its summer
Academy Program!

The Academy is a new program that is
crafted to educate students, young professionals, and civic leaders on
the foundational principles of American political thought and the
important policy debates facing our country. This 12-week program is
designed to increase your leadership capabilities and help you
engage more meaningfully in your communities and more
confidently in policy debates.

Through a
series of two weekly, private one-hour webinars participants will:
Engage with Heritage scholars,
policy experts and movement leaders
Study the foundational principles
of American political thought
Explore current issues in foreign,
domestic, and economic policy
Take part in in-depth leadership
training, career exploration panels and job skills seminars
Participate in reading groups and
discussions
Connect with other students, young
professionals, and civic leaders from across the country

This is a fully virtual, 3-5 hour a
week educational program. Participants watch two pre-recorded
lectures per week, participate in corresponding Q&A sessions, and
have a biweekly discussion cohort. There is an optional research
project. This is designed to have a flexible timeline, to allow
participants to join while completing another internship, job, or
schooling.
|
|
Participants have ranged from high school
to mid-career professionals.

The deadline to apply for the Summer 2021 program is May
1st.

Participants must attend 80% of the
Academy program in order to graduate and receive The Academy’s
certificate of completion. Academy graduates will then be able to list
this credential on resumes and will receive invitations to exclusive
Heritage events, priority access for more advanced programs, and
future events offered by The Heritage Foundation. This program is
offered free of charge to all ages.
