About the Accelerator Program

We offer the best-in-class preparation for servant leaders running for office today. This program is only open to candidates running down-ballot whose elections will take place in 2026. If you are running for state-wide or federal office or in an election further in the future, please let us know by filling out this form instead. This program will prepare you to successfully launch your campaign and accelerate your preparation as a candidate for office. We do this by:

  • Guiding participants through a roadmap to build skills and competencies
  • Helping each candidate develop their campaign and apply their leadership skills to their role as a candidate
  • Building a cohort of candidates for mutual support and accountability
  • Delivering content that is advanced, technical, and intensive
  • Topics include: fundraising, communication, organizing, hiring, and leading as a candidate

This program is free to candidates and takes place in September of 2025. This program is bipartisan and includes sessions both across and within parties and for candidates running in non-partisan races. The required program dates will be released when the application is open.
