2025 Spring Legislative fellowship
General Fellowship Information:
The 2025 Spring Fellowship offers the opportunity for students and young people from across the state to participate remotely and learn with Loud Light about this year's legislative session. Participants will learn in detail how the public policy process works, what policies the Legislature is passing, what informs legislators' decisions, and what current issues become most impactful during the Kansas Legislative Session.
Loud Light’s Spring Program allows students to experience state government on a first-hand basis. They will (virtually) attend and take notes from committee meetings and floor debates with some in-person opportunities provided as well to meet their elected leaders and advocate on issues of their choosing. Fellows will further develop their research and communication skills, gaining a high level of comprehension of the legislative process and the ability to break down complex topics to discuss with their peers. Fellows will also have the opportunity to earn college credit and make contacts for other internships, government jobs, political non-profit organizations, and campaigns.
ELIGIBILITY:
Must be at least 18 years of age, and a Kansas resident with internet access (may be operating out of state)
Must be passionate about politics and dedicated to becoming a visible vocal force for good in your community
Fellowship will last the duration of the 2025 Legislative session (starting before most university semesters through early May-ish) and will require 5-10 hours per week
Attend weekly Zoom meetings on Monday and Friday from 4-5
Participants who SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE the fellowship will receive a $500 stipend
While all are welcome to apply, this fellowship is specifically designed to uplift the voices of young people and individuals belonging to communities disproportionately impacted by disenfranchisement and underrepresentation. If you do not think this fellowship is the right fit for you, but you would still like to get involved, please sign up to take action with us at loudlight.org/volunteer.
Loud Light values a diverse team and an inclusive culture.
