Campaign Corps, a project of EMILY’s List, is a national grassroots
program dedicated to politically empowering young people. Each year
we train talented recent college graduates (both from undergraduate
and graduate) and place them on targeted, progressive Democratic
campaigns. Formerly known as Participation 2000, Campaign Corps has
been bringing young people into the political process since 1988.
We’ve placed hundreds of staffers on some of the most important
political campaigns in the country—providing young people with the
first step in a career dedicated to progressive politics.
We are recruiting for the Campaign Corps Class of 2007. Applications
are available online at www.campaigncorps.org and are due April 20,

Washington for a week- long Campaign School, where they will learn the
basics of political campaigning – voter targeting, field organizing,
fundraising, and press strategy – from the country’s leading
Democratic operatives. Staffers are paid to work side by side with
candidates and other political professionals for the last three
months of the campaign. After Election Day, Campaign Corps brings
staffers back to DC for a post- election retreat and debriefing.
Campaign Corps will help you launch your career in progressive
politics!
All staffers receive a stipend of $1000 a month, free housing during
the campaign, health care, and all travel expenses paid. (Previous
campaign experience not a requirement)

1. Field and experimental reports are equally valid. Data (not anticipated results) should be presented. All reports should be directed toward answering some question or testing some hypothesis. Surveys of the literature may be presented but are not adequate for the award unless supported by investigative work.
2. Presentations will be scored on the basis of 100 points as follows:
Substantive content, 35 points: Are there data? Is the methodology adequate? Is there a conclusion? Is it warranted by the data? If descriptive, is the report sufficiently detailed?
Organization, 25 points: Is the report placed in context? Are the methods clear? Are the data understandable? Are the tables, graphs, etc., used if needed? Is the conclusion or summary clearly given?
Presentation, 20 points: Can the speaker be heard and understood? Does she/he understand the material? Are visual aids adequate in size and clarity? Does the speaker show an understanding of the relation of his/her topic to a larger area? Are questions answered adequately?
Judges Discretion, 10 points: These points may be used for any factors not considered above. Any number may be awarded to recognize unusual quality or for any other factor which seems appropriate to the judge. For example, these points may be used to give preference to the work of individuals in distinction to group effort.
Originality, 10 points: Does the work show ingenuity on the part of the student or is it the continuation of research initiated by a graduate leader? Are all materials provided through a large laboratory or must the student collect them him/herself from sources he discovers?
