Politicorps Summer 2010
Posted: March 23rd, 2010 | Author: Jon Coon | Tags: politicorps | No Comments »After much thought and deliberation over the last number of months I identified a few post graduate programs that would allow me to evolve and grow to my greatest potential. I am happy to officially be a member of the Politicorps summer fellow class of 2010.
What is Politicorps?
PolitiCorps is a national leadership development program and political organizing bootcamp designed to engage and prepare college students and recent graduates for a life of public service through a combination of skills and policy classes, intensive field work, strategic planning exercises, and access to a broad network of activists, strategists, and policymakers.
Why I’m doing it:
- I am intensely interested in politics and how best to reach those who are affected by the decisions of policymakers, businesses and other participants in our representative democracy.
- I want the to face challenges and opportunities that develop leadership growth and necessitate personal refection.
- I love Oregon but have gone to school and engaged in many of my most remarkable experiences in San Francisco. This program will allow me to grow my network exponentially and interact with similarly driven and accomplished peers.
