Trainings

Through our training programs, we are identifying and preparing a diverse pipeline of LGBTQ+ leaders to advance equality through public service.

“Campaigning is tough work with little margin for error. Victory Institute’s Candidate & Campaign Training is intense, inexpensive and presented by experienced professionals. It gives new candidates a head start, but even experienced candidates can up their game.”

LGBTQ+ Victory Institute President & CEO Evan Low. He was also the youngest LGBTQ+ mayor elected in his time nationwide.
