Democracy Partners Institute
When you’re preparing to launch a campaign or responding to crisis, no single factor affects the outcome more than your choice of staff, and the knowledge and skills they possess.
To help navigate today’s non-stop environment, the Democracy Partners Institute includes some of America’s leading experts on political and issue training and can develop training programs tailored to your campaign or organizational needs, including:
- Strategy & Goal Setting
- Leadership Development
- Mentoring
- Coaching
- Capacity and Skill Building:
- Digital
- Public speaking
- Media training
- Spokesperson training
- Electoral
- Candidate
- Grassroots campaigns
- Democratic Campaign Management Program
The team includes the founder of the Midwest Academy and training director of the Democratic National Committee, the author of Campaign Boot Camp, and leaders of the Camp Obama training program for the 2008 Presidential Campaign. Several have written books on the strategy and tactics of issue and electoral campaigns. And we have experienced media and digital trainers who’ve defined online discourse in some of the biggest issues in recent memory.
Leaders of the Democracy Partners Institute have led hundreds of training seminars preparing organizers for roles in real-world electoral and issue campaigns – as well as community groups and major national organizations, associations and corporations.
Our Democratic Campaign Management Program trains individuals who have a long-term interest in making political organizing a career. The program involves seminar work as well as placements in jobs on campaigns.
