The Truman National Security Project is a national security leadership institute, the nation's only organization that recruits, trains, and positions a new generation of progressives across America to lead on national security.

Our mission is to provide the skills, knowledge, and network to create an influential force of leaders across the country who advance strong progressive national security policy.

Today you will find leaders we have trained running for office across the country, advising presidential and Congressional campaigns, drafting legislation in the halls of Congress, assuming leadership posts in the military, playing key roles in local and national government, and working on the front lines of America's homeland security.

The Truman National Security Project:

-Provides education in national security, foreign policy, and military and defense issues for the next generation of progressive leaders.

-Offers training in messaging and communication so that Americans will know that we prize their security.

-Crafts strong, well-messaged national security ideas grounded in our values and national security tradition.

Through our programs on Capitol Hill and for Emerging Leaders, we particularly focus on building the national security leadership of tomorrow—and equipping them to make an impact today.
