Congressional Leadership Program

Introduction to the Congressional Leadership Program

The Congressional Leadership Program (CLP) is a 10-week leadership program developed by Congressman Todd Young's office that meets every other week.  The program is designed to introduce college and graduate students to southeastern Indiana and develops their leadership skills so they can effectively serve their community.  Sessions are designed to help a diverse group of high-achieving college and graduate students learn more about the strengths and challenges of their community, and how they might live a life engaged in addressing those issues.

Applicants should be residents of, or attending college or graduate school in, Indiana's 9th Congressional District.  Class size is limited, so the application process is competitive.  Priority consideration will be given to those who apply by May 1st, 2012.  Applicants must attend at least four out of five sessions to successfully complete the program.
