Truman Partnership
The Truman Partnership brings together the best of America's young political leaders to prepare them for national security, foreign policy, and global leadership.
Truman Partners are the most effective of a new generation of progressive political organizers and communicators who are committed to developing strong credentials in these increasingly important and increasingly complex fields.
Truman Partners join a nation-wide team of like-minded and dedicated young leaders who will form the core of America's national security decision-making process.
Our mission is to build the political will -- both locally and nationally -- that will allow America to continue to thrive as a safe, secure nation and beacon of global democratic leadership.

How the Partnership Works
The Truman Partnership was launched in May 2009 and has since fostered three classes of 40 Partners each. To date, the program has focused on the Boston-New York-Washington, D.C. region. The Truman Partnership has since expanded and now covers four distinct regions: East, West, South, and the Midwest. Each year, 30 to 40 Partners will be selected annually from each region.
To be selected, Partner candidates must meet the following criteria:
- Career dedication to progressive political/advocacy/organizing;
- Agreement with Truman values;
- Personal character and integrity;
- Regional and demographic diversity; and
- Strong team players.
Partners must be nominated, and after nominations may be contacted for a personal meeting with Truman Project leadership. Click here to learn more about the training Truman Partners receive.
