Pathways to Progress Applications Opening November 13
Applications for Pathways to Progress Cohort 1 (Spring 2026) will open Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025, and close Friday, Dec. 12, 2025.
Hosted by the Clay Institute of Civic Engagement & Economic Justice, the Pathways to Progress program offers justice-based experiential learning and advocacy training. During the spring semester, a cohort of 10-12 students engage in weekly education and community-building activities with local partners.
Students will attend a spring break trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with legislators, advocacy groups and visit important sites for civic education.
Pathways to Progress is open to all undergraduate students from all majors and backgrounds who are passionate about creating a more just and equitable society. Ideal candidates are curious, open-minded, and motivated to engage with their local community while developing real-world skills in organizing, policy, and civic leadership.
