Magnus
Estimated: March 22 – 25, 2027
The “Magnus Fellowship” is for 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.
Intrepidus
Estimated: March 29 – April 1, 2027
The “Intrepidus Fellowship” is for 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.
Veritas
The “Veritas Fellowship” is for conservative communications professionals. This fellowship will prepare communications staff to grow their tactical skill base and expand their ability to effectively communicate public policy issues. From exposure to digital media, to meeting media bookers and editors, to diving into emerging communications trends, communications staff will exit this fellowship with a wealth of new tools to expand the message of the conservative movement.
Fellows are expected to make the seminar at Camp Rydin, at least one networking or professional development event and are highly encouraged to attend the NYC Media trip.
Agenda to be released soon
Legatum
Fall 2027 – Dates TBD
The “Legatum Fellowship” is for 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.
Agenda to be released soon
Civitas
The “Civitas Fellowship” is for conservative legal practitioners working on Capitol Hill and in the conservative movement. The Civitas Fellowship, a partnership between CPI and America First Legal, will focus exclusively on the skills of being an effective conservative counsel: drafting and analyzing legislative text, using legislative and judicial processes to promote the conservative agenda, and coalition building within the conservative movement, among other areas. Fellows will come away with confidence to prosecute the conservative case for America and contacts in the conservative legal movement wanting to support those efforts.
Agenda to be released soon
