With an ever-changing representative form of democracy, we stand ready to prepare the next generation of political leaders. The Congressional Black Caucus Political Education and Leadership Institute (“CBC Institute”) was incorporated in 2000, as a 501 (c) (4), nonprofit, nonpartisan, social welfare organization. While our primary mission is to “Educate today’s voters and train tomorrow’s leaders,” we also inform, inspire and ignite our communities into action on issues that affect them the most.
