About the Roosevelt Institute Campus Network:
The Roosevelt Campus Network, a student policy organization, engages young people in a unique, progressive activism that empowers them as leaders and promotes their ideas for change. Founded in the wake of the 2004 election, the Roosevelt Campus Network was organized by and for young people because traditional forms of youth participation were incomplete. The Campus Network proves that young people can not only knock on doors and register voters, but also create sweeping, progressive change in communities nationwide by contributing their ideas to local, state, and national level policy debates. In the years since its founding, the Campus Network has grown into the largest student policy organization in the country, representing nearly 10,000 members at more than 85 chapters nationwide. Through the Campus Network’s Think Impact model of policy change, young people are empowered to go out into their communities, identify local challenges, and solve them by campaigning around student-generated solutions. The Roosevelt Campus Network is committed to fostering tomorrow’s thought leaders and elected officials by empowering young people to create change in their communities today.
