FARGO – The North Dakota Democratic-NPL has announced it is partnering with the 2026 Democracy Summer program to hire high school and college-age students for a six-week fellowship program from June 22-Aug. 7. Fellows will receive a $750 stipend to supplement the costs of their organizing efforts.

Fellows will participate in online seminars and a powerful curriculum designed by Congressman Jamie Raskin, while also organizing on-the-ground in North Dakota.

Throughout the academic portion, Fellows will learn from inspiring political leaders, policy experts, issue advocates and top community organizers from all across the country.

Selected Fellows must be at least 16 years of age and must commit to fully participating in at least four hours a week of virtual seminars, discussions and workshops. Weekly speaker sessions will take place virtually on Mondays from noon-2 p.m. An additional two-hour interactive Zoom workshop session will be hosted at various times throughout the week. Fellows will be assigned a virtual workshop time based on their campaign and region.

They also must commit to fully participating in an additional 10-15 hours a week of organizing with their campaign, primarily in-person with some remote responsibilities.
