Campus Progress, part of the Center for American Progress, works to strengthen progressive voices on college and university campuses and to empower new progressive leaders nationwide. Through an on-line magazine and student publications, public events, and grassroots issue campaigns, Campus Progress supports young advocates, activists, journalists, and artists as they develop fresh ideas and perspectives and seek to communicate in new ways.

Campus Progress is working to see that the next generation of progressive leaders is better trained, better informed, more diverse, and more united than any generation before. We’re helping to build a strong progressive movement by connecting young people across the divides of region, background, and issue interests, and working to keep them connected over time.

While some portray U.S. campuses as bastions of liberalism, 30 years of heavily-funded conservative organizing has made its mark, and the future is up for grabs. Campus Progress is helping young progressives come together, win the battle of ideas, and turn their ideas into action.

Campus Progress primarily organizes at colleges and universities—where many young people are concentrated and easier to reach—but we intend our work to be accessible and useful to everyone.

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.

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.
