  • ABOUT EPFP | PROGRAM OVERVIEW

    The Education Policy Fellowship Program turns high-potential professionals into tomorrow’s education leaders.

    EPFP is Louisiana’s only professional development program for emerging policy leaders seeking to improve student outcomes. In 2015, Louisiana joined the ranks of 14 other states across the US in welcoming EPFP to our community.

    Fellows remain in their full-time positions and use their work environment as the context for examining issues in education leadership and policy. The program benefits states, organizations, and individuals: Louisiana gains a strengthened talent pipeline of trained education policy professionals, employers gain new organizational expertise and networks, and participants become informed leaders within their workplace and community.

    ABOUT THE PROGRAM

    No one knows what children need better than their communities. FLTI NOLA is a place for parents and kids to learn about how to address those needs through advocacy, media, government relations, fund development, and more. FLTI-NOLA is offered free of charge: in exchange, participants commit to attending classes and completing a community project.

    FLTI NOLA is part of a national initiative created to improve the lifelong health, safety, and learning of children by helping you develop the leadership skills to make real change – in your neighborhood, schools, communities, and state and local governments. Participants explore their passions, strengths, beliefs and ideas, develop interpersonal and public communications skills, and gain an enhanced understanding of democratic leadership.
