Biographical / historical:

The Hart Leadership Program (HLP) is a part of the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University. The HLP is a series of courses and programs with a mission "to help students discover the power of leadership for public life."

The Hart Leadership Program was founded in 1986 and is believed to be the first endowed leadership program for undergraduate students in the United States. Milledge A. Hart endowed the program, and Professor Bruce Payne was the founding director.

In addition to a variety of courses open to all undergraduate students at Duke, the HLP offers broader programs including Service Opportunities in Leadership (SOL), the Hart Fellowship Program (HFP), the Political Engagement Project, the Leadership and Arts Policy Internship, Research Service-Learning Pathways, and the Enterprising Leadership Initiative.

Service Opportunities in Leadership grew out of the Interns in Conscience program, a student-run program that facilitated student placement in summer internships with non-profit organizations from 1987-1992. In 1994, nine students worked on the Unaccompanied Children in Exile project in Croatia with then-HLP director Professor Neil Boothby; the following year the HLP created the Refugee Action Project (RAP) to place students in international summer internships. In 1996 HLP created Summer Opportunities in Leadership as a sister program placing students in the United States. In 1998, the two programs, RAP and SOL, merged into Service Opportunities in Leadership, and became a twelve-month program combining courses, mentoring, research, and leadership training.
