Dear Editor:
It’s that time of year again! We are excited to announce that the Emerging Leaders Project is now taking applications for our 2023-24 class!
Click here to apply before the July 15 deadline.
As an independent nonprofit organization, the Emerging Leaders Project partners with the Indiana Democratic Party to help build our party’s bench of future candidates, leaders, campaign staffers, and activists. Each year up to 40 Hoosiers, between 21 and 40 years old, are selected from around the state to participate in this free year-long program. Those selected attend a series of training conferences in Indianapolis that cover all aspects of campaigning for office, public policy, and party building.
Learn more about the Emerging Leaders Project and apply to join the 2023-24 class here.
Founded in 2011, the Emerging Leaders Project has helped hundreds of young Democrats become more active in the party and run for office. From Congressional candidates to state legislators, to countywide elected officials and municipal office holders to Democratic Party leaders at the local and district levels, the Emerging Leaders Project has a long track record of success. See our list of alumni here.
If you are an Indiana resident between the ages of 21 and 40 and have an interest in running for office in the near future, working on a campaign, or helping to strengthen your local Democratic Party, this program is for you.
Jeff Harris
Chair, Emerging Leaders Project
