So You Want to Run for Office
Thursday, June 22 at 1pm ET

You bring your own life experiences and familiarity with your community. Let us equip you with the tools to get started in your run for office.

You might be thinking…I can’t be a Senator! Well you don’t have to be. There are so many essential elected roles in every single community across America that affect the way taxes are allocated, schools are managed, and parks are built. Even if you’re just interested in learning more, join this training to learn about the first realistic steps you can take.

At NDTC, we love our summers too! This will be our final training until July 10, so if you aren’t quite sure what you want to do, go ahead and use the button to register before you spend some time in the sun!

We talk about our upcoming live trainings a lot here… but did you know we have an on-demand Online Academy where you can access hundreds of free courses and resources for free?

All month long we’ve discussed ways to develop a field plan (and using data to support it). Whether you attended some live trainings on this topic or not, our amazing Curriculum team at NDTC developed coursework to supplement your learning.

First, take a look at Intro to Field to review the best practices in organizing, canvassing, and field strategy.

Then, VoteBuilder 101 will walk you through the industry’s best platform for voter contact efforts.

Finally, Targeting Voters takes a more strategic approach in evaluating methods for reaching voters who will turn out for you and your campaign. Build supporters by using key data.

And it doesn’t stop there! You can always visit the Online Academy, set up a free account, and keep track of your progress while taking advantage of our extensive course catalog.
