The Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership at the University of Virginia was founded in 1993 to identify, educate, and train emerging leaders from throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. The institute is a non-partisan organization dedicated to improving the quality of governance and the strength of civic engagement in Virginia.
The institute offers a variety of programs for high school, college leaders and first-time political candidates and has thirteen graduates serving in the Virginia General Assembly.
The Sorensen Institute does not participate in campaigns on behalf of issues, causes, or candidates for office. Though it is housed at the University of Virginia, the institute relies entirely on donations and grants from individuals, corporations, and foundations to support its programs.
