PolicyCorps Training Institute
An innovative service-learning program that will provide reliable, accountable coverage of the legislative session, specific to your policy interests.
Services provided to nonprofit or community group participants by the PolicyCorps:
- Coverage of the legislative session, specific to your interests provided by trained Policy Fellows. Information is more detailed than the information already available to the general public.
- Information disseminated in an open and unbiased manner by a trained Policy Fellow who will personally alert each organization of pertinent information as it arises and through weekly updates.
PolicyCorps participants will be nonprofit organizations or community groups interested in becoming more active at the Capitol, but are limited by capacity, budget or time.
The PolicyCorps continues Grasstops mission of "Ensuring All Voices Are Heard." Our goal to increase the ability of nonprofit and community groups to impact public policy, so that these vital groups may be proactive in the political process.
Services are offered on a sliding fee scale.
