Howdy,

This Sunday, February 4 is the priority deadline to apply to the Arena Academy Path taking place April 18-21 in Atlanta, Georgia. 

Unlock your potential! Apply to Arena Academy today!

At Arena, we specialize in helping people break into politics and level up their careers. During Arena Academy you’ll learn from current practitioners, movement leaders, and Georgians who have secured historic victories – we’re partnering with many amazing Georgia organizations to craft trainings and programming you won’t want to miss.

Don’t just take it from us here’s what past Arena Academy attendees have to say: 

“I cannot overstate how much attending Arena Academy has impacted my career. Previous to attending Arena I had data experience but no connections to the political space. By networking during Arena Academy in 2019 I got connected to someone on the Cory Booker campaign. Through that connection I landed my first job in the Democratic data space. Since then I’ve worked on data teams for two campaigns, city government, the DNC, and the White House.” - Tarah Marshall, Chief of Staff, Democratic Data Exchange 

“As a young Black woman new to politics, Arena has been invaluable. From the moment I left Arena Academy, my instructors followed up with me, gave me tips to ensure I was paid my worth, and helped me find a job.”- Cayana Mackey Nance, Vice President, Digital, EMILYs List 

"The triumph of my previous campaign would have been unattainable without the invaluable resources and leadership insights I gained through Arena Academy. I will forever be grateful for the knowledge shared in this space." - Jocelyne Soto, Director of Civic Engagement, Mi Familia Vota.

Apply to the Arena Academy Path taking place from April 18-21 in Atlanta, Georgia before THIS Sunday, February 4 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Note: The general admission deadline is February 19, but getting your application in this Sunday, February 4 for the priority deadline, means your application gets reviewed early and you hear back early, giving you extra time to make plans to attend Arena Academy.

If campaign staff training isn’t for you, join us in Atlanta from April 20-21 for the Changemaker Path. This two-day portion of the Arena Summit is designed for activists, organizers, and those looking to find their place in politics this cycle. Register for the Changemaker Path today.

I look forward to reviewing your Arena Academy application ✨,
