Are you interested in running for office or working in politics? Check out these two programs which can prepare you for this upcoming election.
Dear Jack,
Do you or know anyone who would like to get involved in the next election? The Emerging Leaders and Leadership Institute have the perfect programs that will prepare anyone from high school age and above, not only to be involved in elections but to enact change effectively.
The Emerging Leaders Academy is an intense 12-week training and mentorship program for high school and college students. After students attend an initial training course on leadership, project management, communications, and issue-advocacy, they are matched with an organization for an internship. If you are a high school to college student or know someone who is and is interested in public service, you are welcome to the Student BBQ mixer hosted by Reform California Chairman Carl DeMaio.

The Leadership Institute San Diego Campaign Academy is three days in January and provides training in how to create a campaign plan, inspire people to get involved and vote, how to build a strong base of supporters, raise funds, target, identify, and mobilize voters. Ideal attendees are current and prospective candidates, campaign advisors and staff, volunteers, and activists interested in impacting public policy.
