ACLU Summer Advocacy Institute
The ACLU’s Summer Advocacy Institute will bring together a diverse group of students entering their junior and senior years of high school from across the United States to participate in an advanced, firsthand learning experience for the next generation of social justice advocates. Through an intensive 7-day program, students will learn directly from lawyers, lobbyists, community activists, journalists, and other experts working to defend the civil rights and liberties critical to a free and open society. The application is free for those who apply before February 15, 2016 and there are scholarships available to cover program costs. The institute takes place June 19 - 25, 2016 at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.
