Arizona Political Leaders Fellowship

9-Months of Leadership Training, Coaching and Mentoring

The Arizona Political Leaders Fellowship is a nine-month, part-time leadership development program for a select group of organizational leaders, elected officials, future candidates, community organizers, and progressive activists across the state. 

Through training, coaching, project-based work and mentoring, the program gives up-and-coming leaders the skills and networks they need to advance progressive political change in their communities.

The Fellowship is designed to fit the schedules of working professionals through five main components:  

• Five Weekend Workshops
• Regular one-on-one and Small Group Coaching
• Project-based Learning
• Mentorship
• Political Networking

Fellowship Fee

The cost of the Political Leaders Fellowship is $1,050.  This fee covers all training costs and materials, individual and group coaching, food and facilities.  Fellows are responsible for travel and lodging costs during workshop weekends.  Partial scholarships and payment plans are available to accommodate our Fellows to the best of our ability.  Credit cards and checks are accepted.
