WV Center on Budget and Policy accepting applications for the 2022 Summer Policy Institute

The Summer Policy Institute (SPI) is an annual convening that brings together highly qualified traditional and non-traditional undergraduate students, graduate students, and policy-curious people of all ages to build policy knowledge, leadership skills, and networks.

​​Attendees participate in interactive sessions where they learn the basics of data, policy, and state government and build their organizing and advocacy skills. Throughout the institute, participants work in small groups to identify and develop policy proposals to shape the future they want to see in West Virginia, culminating in team “policy pitches” to state legislators and policy professionals. Many SPI attendees have gone on to continue advocating for their policy idea and to hold internships with West Virginia non-profits and in state government.

Due to ongoing public health considerations, SPI 2022 will take place virtually via Zoom from July 28-30.
