Emerge – October 30, 2025

Posted on October 30, 2025

Are you gearing up to run for office? We’re here to help. 

Apply for the Virtual National Signature Training Program

This is the only virtual, 70-hour in-depth training that inspires democratic women candidates to run and provides the tools, skills, and network to win. This is a unique opportunity for those planning to run for public office in the next  2 – 5 years (through 2030).

The Signature Program runs from February through June 2026, tuition is $750. Payment plans, fundraising your tution, and scholarships are available as payment methods. 

For more details, click here to review the schedule & curriculum. The deadline to apply is Saturday, Nov. 15.

If you have questions about our National Virtual training programs, please contact Jamie Lynn Maniscalco, Deputy National Training Director, Jamie@EmergeAmerica.org.


The Emerge training centers women of the New American Majority – Black, Brown, and Indigenous women, women of color, LGBTQ+, young, and unmarried women. In building a reflective democracy, we know the value of developing leaders who have the passion and skills to bring their community’s voice to the decision-making table.

Today, we have more than 1,200 Emerge alums serving in elected office throughout the country, and over 6,500 women trained.
Our alums have a 71% win rate, and Emerge alums are nearly six times more likely to win.
