Leo Panitch Leadership Programme
Last updated 09/04/26
Are you ready to take the step up and become a socialist leader today?
Momentum is running our yearly Leo Panitch Leadership Programme to help recruit and train the next generation of socialist leaders.
Up to 40 people from across the country will get the opportunity to participate in this comprehensive leadership programme that will focus on developing your political education and organising skills, and give you hands-on experience working on exciting national campaigns and projects.
Key information
The programme doesn’t require a fee and is open to anyone including non-Momentum or Labour Party members. You just need to be committed to socialist organising and using the skills and relationships you develop to help build Momentum.
The programme will span two weekends in August and one final day at a later date to be decided by the participants. You’ll learn from some of the best organisers and thinkers from across the movement, as well as link up with activists like you who are ready to take their organising to the next level.
If this sounds like the right programme for you, then apply to be part of our fifth Leo Panitch Leadership Programme. The deadline for applications is midnight on Thursday 14th May and further details on how to apply are below.
