Our fellowships are oriented toward helping conservatives become leaders, policy professionals, and effective communicators.
Conservative Partnership Academy offers four fellowships.
Magnus
The “Magnus Fellowship” is geared towards seasoned conservative staff and aspiring leaders in the conservative movement. Magnus fellows will study leadership theory, organizational management and culture, the logistics of managing a budget, hiring best practices and office management skills unique to Capitol Hill and the conservative non-profit space. The curriculum is carefully selected to ensure a solid preparation for the next generation of leaders in congressional offices and conservative organizations. There will be assigned readings to supplement conversation.
Intrepidus
The “Intrepidus Fellowship” is geared towards conservative policy staff. Intrepidus fellows will gain knowledge of key aspects of current policy areas – but also the historical context that has developed the conservative approach. Fellows will also review key conservative thinkers whose work has framed the intellectual architecture of modern conservative thought in the MAGA era. Each session will be led by conservative movement leaders who will lead robust discussions designed to grow awareness of conservative policy history and the leaders who have shaped it. There will be assigned readings to supplement conversation.
Veritas
The “Veritas Fellowship” is geared towards conservative communications professionals. This fellowship will prepare communications staff to grow their tactical skill base and expand their ability to effectively communicate conservative issues. From digital media training, meeting bookers and editors, and diving into emerging communications trends, communications staff will exit this fellowship with a wealth of new tools to use in their current roles, or prepare them for their next communications job.
Legatum
The “Legatum Fellowship” is tailored towards conservatives interested in pursuing non-profit development. This intensive fellowship will demystify development, furnish an understanding of how to get to know donors, how to listen and ask the right questions, and build an understanding of the proper way to grow relationships. The Legatum fellowship will feature instruction by CPI’s seasoned development staff and is specifically designed for new entrants or those looking to pursue a career in non-profit development.
