I am proud to announce that my campaign will be participating as a partner in the 2022 National Democracy Summer School! Developed by my colleague, Congressman Jamie Raskin and expanded in partnership with the DCCC, this program is dedicated to training and educating the next generation of Democratic political activists, organizers, and leaders.
As a part of this initiative, I am looking for dedicated high school and college students to join my campaign as Democracy Summer Fellows! Selected Fellows will participate in an exciting on-line seminar and curriculum designed by Rep. Raskin focused on the history of social and political change in America and the progress of political democracy, while simultaneously training as organizers and volunteer activists with my reelection campaign here in California’s brand-new 50th Congressional District.
And all Scott Peters for Congress Fellows will receive a $500 stipend for their work!
If you know a student who may be interested in our Fellowship program, click here to find more information and access our application!
The theme of this year's academic seminar is “
Political Democracy and its Enemies.”
Through the academic program, Fellows will learn from great activist heroes, both young and veteran political leaders, Democratic policy experts and top political and community organizers across the country. Past Democracy Summer speakers have included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Civil Rights leaders Bob Moses and Rev. William J. Barber II, Prof. Laurence Tribe, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Rep. John Lewis and dozens of other luminaries of change and progress.
Campaign fellows will work primarily on field work and voter outreach, helping us turn out voters to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in San Diego and across the country. Fellows will also have the opportunity to connect with voters to talk about the issues that matter most, network with business and community leaders from across the region, and work in an always exciting and dynamic environment.
Additional information and the application for the Fellowship can be found here. The deadline to apply is March 15, 2022. *Please note that space is limited!
If you know a student that may be interested in this life-changing program, please forward them this email – this is an opportunity they won’t want to miss!
