The Club for Growth Foundation Fellowship equips civic leaders with the education and skills to promote a free society, economic liberty, and limited government, expanding the number of American leaders who can champion these ideas across a broad cross-section of society.


About the Fellowship

Launched in 2020, The Club for Growth Foundation Fellowship is a year-long program with monthly, virtual meetings and two in-person seminars held in the Spring and the Fall. With 267 Fellows from 40 states, our network of engaged leaders defend free-market principles and policies in both the public and private sectors. 

Fellows are required to attend the two seminars and monthly meetings. Most alumni remain actively engaged through the monthly meetings and annual reunion, creating a robust and active nationwide network. 

April 23-26, 2026 (Boston, Massachusetts)

Through programming focused on the philosophical underpinnings of our issues, Fellows will rediscover the Constitutional framework that makes economic growth and freedom possible.

In addition, we provide media training that teaches participants how to effectively frame their arguments, instilling the instincts that enable persuasion, messaging, and impactful storytelling.

September 24-26, 2026 (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

Fellows apply knowledge gained in the first seminar and through virtual meetings to practical workshops, policy sessions, and media training aimed at furthering policy knowledge and communication skills. 

Monthly Virtual Meetings: January – December 

These hour-long virtual meetings enable us to delve into history, policy, and first principles with subject-matter experts and leaders. Recent topics have ranged from a conversation on strategic vision, leadership, and innovation, to the principles of sound tax policy. We’ve been joined by influential national leaders who have shared insights on authentic leadership in times of change, as well as experts with a perspective on strengthening American manufacturing with free-market solutions. While our topics vary, each meeting is the same: focused on leadership, freedom, and the ideas that make opportunity possible.
