Our programs focus on political skills like running for office, managing organizations and campaigns, fundraising and delivering a compelling message; however, the program also focuses on personal development like becoming a better speaker, expanding your personal fundraising base, leading from your own values, and more.

 

In addition, trainees have the opportunity to meet and work with some of the top political and organizational leaders from across the state.
