The North Carolina Center for Women in Public Service is a non-partisan organization that prepares women to seek and serve in
elected and appointed office.

NCCWPS is a nonpartisan, non-profit organization offering strategic courses and programs to train women for political leadership. Acting as a clearinghouse for women considering civic leadership, we have created a statewide network of women committed to the same mission. We are the only organization in this state with such a vision. We believe that as we increase the number of women in office, we also increase North Carolina's recognition that women are highly effective political leaders.

The Summer Institute is the Center's signature project. It is an interactive, hands-on, high-energy workshop spread over two summer weekends, is geared toward women who'd like to learn more of what to expect from running for public office or seeking an appointed position.
