The Leadership Academy made a huge difference in helping me learn how to run for office. I learned how to structure an organization, set up a fundraising operation, run an effective, ethical campaign, and plan ahead for the unexpected bumps in the road that every election faces at some point.

The Leadership Academy for Public Service provides an incredibly thoughtful and honest view of how campaigning really works. For some, this class can confirm their desire to pursue public office. For others, it accurately portrays the challenges of politics and offers alternative ways to get involved in the community.
