The Arsalyn Program of the Ludwick Family Foundation has been a strategic partner since 2011.  The Arsalyn Program promotes youth civic and political engagement and we are honored to have their support and collaboration for teacher training and student events.  In 2014, we were especially pleased to launch a new outreach program made possible through their sponsorship.  The Arsalyn Policy Seminar brings together USC professors and high school students through our partner teachers and undergraduate volunteers.
