The New Politics Forum

Since 2003, the New Politics Forum and the Hatton W. Sumners Foundation have changed the lives of over 1,800 young people. The New Politics Forum shares political knowledge with young people on a strictly non-partisan basis by bringing students into contact with experienced political professionals, members of the working press, and university researchers. Students get a practical and well-rounded education that will provide a solid foundation for work in politics.

The Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Participation has set out to show young people that a political career is honest, decent work when performed by honest, decent people. Over the last seven years, the New Politics Forum has grown more confident that our mission is justified and our method is effective. The New Politics Forum's efforts provide students with the skills and networking opportunities needed for a successful career in politics.
