Our Mandate

Whitestone Legislative Advocacy is a youth-led, nonpartisan organization drafting bold legal policy, with a distinct focus on political and economic corruption in U.S. policymaking and beyond.

About the organization

Three Departments

One standard: reform that survives scrutiny.

The Whitestone Fellowship

A rigorous apprenticeship in public reasoning

Offered seasonally and entirely free of charge, the Fellowship trains high school and undergraduate students in the theory and practice of law, public policy, and institutional reform — through seminars, mentorship, and applied research with scholars, attorneys, diplomats, and policymakers.
