The steepest hill to climb for any young person looking to get involved in politics or public policy is to get their first job—the first institution willing to credential them with their dollar and reputation in affiliation.

We are not adherent to the morally bankrupt system that is American higher education, so we do not require college degrees, nor prior political experience, for admission. The program’s generous funding is designed to make the Fellowship livable with no external income, so young people of all economic means are encouraged to apply.

Additionally, one day per week, Fellows will join American Moment staff, allied organizations, and public policy leaders for seminars designed to supplement their on-the-job education and teach them the foundations of public policy across American Moment’s issue priorities.

Moreover, networking activities and other exciting opportunities will be offered so that any Fellowship member has the opportunity to meet new like-minded peers and mentors.
