Advancing Leaders For Democracy

By connecting young adults to high-quality civic education and training, our Young Leaders programs remove barriers to leadership in service of a stronger democracy.

YOUNG LEADERS
SUMMER INSTITUTE

The Young Leaders Summer Institute (YLSI) is a free, nonpartisan, and virtual program for the next generation of civic leaders. Over the course of the summer, participants meet weekly for virtual sessions that feature a wide variety of expert guest speakers and cover various topics related to democracy and leadership.

YOUNG LEADERS
CIVIC ACTION PROGRAM

The Young Leaders Civic Action Program (YLCAP) is meant for young changemakers who use organizing practices to build their leadership skills and strengthen democracy in their communities.

YLCAP is open to teams with at least one member who has completed a Democracy House program, building upon the skills and experiences of those programs to deepen participants’ leadership and organizing skills in service of a stronger democracy.
