LGBTQ+ Victory Institute’s bootcamp-style campaign training in 2016 gave me the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary to make the leap and run in 2017.
-Virginia Delegate Danica Roem
LGBTQ+ Victory Institute’s intensive four-day Candidate & Campaign Trainings provide comprehensive, non-partisan best practices to present and future LGBTQ+ candidates, campaign staff, and community leaders. Trainees learn the necessary skills and strategies by engaging in tough, realistic campaign simulations and working with peers to develop a plan to run for office and win.
Thousands of LGBTQ+ candidates, campaign workers, and other leaders have learned how to build winning campaigns through this training, which takes place several times each year.
