Elevate Academy is not just another training program; it's a transformative experience designed to empower individuals like you to be the driving force behind positive change in your community.

Whether you want to run for office or become a stronger advocate, Elevate Academy will give you the skills, confidence, and connections to lead change in your community.

This two-day immersive training is deeply rooted in the principles of promoting equality, social justice, and democracy. Elevate Academy offers two tailored tracks:

  • Candidate Track – Learn what it takes to run for office, from messaging to fundraising and beyond.

  • Advocacy Track – Master the tools of grassroots leadership, organizing, and influencing policy.

Mark your calendar: the Elevate Academy kicks off with a social on the evening of Friday, October 17th and continues through the afternoon of Sunday, October 19th, in Fargo, ND. 

There is a participation fee, but scholarships are available to ensure cost is not a barrier. Space is limited—fill out our interest form today to receive more details as they become available!
