Pennsylvania Political Leaders Fellowship
9-Months of Leadership Training, Coaching and Mentoring
Early next year, a select group of bright, ambitious, emerging progressive leaders from around the state of Pennsylvania will come together for a comprehensive, part-time advanced political training and mentoring program designed to accelerate your political career.
The Fellowship, designed for working adults, begins in January of 2008. Throughout the Fellowship, each Fellow will work with experts, seasoned professionals, elected officials, and trainers to develop their personal leadership skills through four main activities:
- Skills Coaching one-on-one and in small groups
- Group Workshops across the state
- Political Networking
- Personal Mentorship
This advanced political leadership course will focus on key political skills like raising money, crafting a compelling message, and communicating with the media; however, the program will also focus on long term personal development like political strategic planning, network building, expanding their base of support, and leading from their own values.
