Campus Progress works with young progressives online, on campus, and on the job:
CampusProgress.org – Our web magazine offers hard-hitting journalism, analysis, and multimedia on issues of the greatest concern to young people; gives young writers, reporters, artists, and others the chance to publish nationally; and builds a community of progressives interested in issues, ideas, and activism. In addition to the daily web magazine, we regularly publish a print edition of CampusProgress.org.
Student publications – Campus Progress funds, trains, and mentors students running a diverse and growing group of campus progressive publications. Grants and assistance help students promote their publications, expand print runs, sponsor events, and network their web sites with other campus publications and CampusProgress.org.
Campus Progress Speakers Bureau – Our Speakers Bureau sends prominent speakers to colleges and universities for speeches, debates, discussions, and film screenings. The Speakers Bureau also provides resources for planning your own campus event, and it holds summer events for interns.
Issue Campaigns and Action Grants – Campus Progress provides support, advice, and materials to students engaged in public education/advocacy campaigns on issues like Sudan, the Iraq war, living wage, poverty and the death penalty. We also engage students in national issue campaigns on critical issues from global warming to civil rights, student debt to academic freedom.
Conferences and training programs for students – Our annual National Student Conference in Washington DC brings together 1000 students and dozens of leading speakers (including past keynote speakers Bill Clinton and Barack Obama) for issue discussions, skills trainings, and networking. We also hold DC, regional, and campus trainings on journalism, media skills, and grassroots organizing, sometimes working with partners like Wellstone Action, the Student PIRGs, and The Nation magazine.
For an idea of how our conferences and programs engage and educate progressive students, this short video completely captures the sentiment of this year’s National Student Conference: inspiring, passionate, and just plain awesome.
Campus Progress Chapters organize speaking events, engage in national issue campaigns, hold regular meetings to discuss issues and strategy, and create lasting connections on campuses and between campuses.
Student Advisory Board and Student Representatives – Campus Progress Student Advisory Board members and Student Reps, selected each year from a growing pool of applicants, help shape the course of Campus Progress by providing advice and feedback, organizing campaigns and events, and connecting at their schools and across campuses to advance progressive messages and goals.
