If you’re interested in politics and careers in public service, CAP’s Civic Leadership Academy, an exciting 1-week program in Washington, DC, is for you.
Cadets participate in behind-the scenes tours and briefings at the Capitol, Supreme Court, State Department, Pentagon, CIA, FBI, Arlington National Cemetery, and more.
The week culminates with Legislative Day, when cadets meet with their elected leaders on Capitol Hill.
This is not your average field trip to Washington. CLA is an academically-focused activity that includes seminars, readings,and group projects.
