Congressional Leadership Program

Introduction to the Congressional Leadership Program

The Congressional Leadership Program (CLP) introduces college and graduate students to their region and develops their leadership skills so they can effectively serve their community.  CLP’s 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 the Ninth Congressional District.  CLP class size is limited, so the application process is competitive. The application deadline is April 25, 2014, but priority will be given to applications as they are received.  Applicants must attend at least four out of five sessions to successfully complete the program.

To apply, please click here to download an application and return it to our Jeffersonville Constituent Service Center (279 Quartermaster Court, Jeffersonville, IN 47130).  If you have any questions, please contact our Jeffersonville Constituent Service Center at 812-288-3999.
