Campaign Corps
Campaign Corps is a competitive program that trains a select group of recent college graduates to work on targeted progressive Democratic campaigns for the three months leading up to election day. In just two election cycles, Campaign Corps has trained more than 500 young people in the basics of campaigning through both Campaign School and Mini-Camps.
Participants have attended various schools including Spelman College, Wellesley College, Yale University, UCLA, Michigan State University, and University of Texas at Austin.
"I want to join Campaign Corps because spending 100-plus hours week on a campaign sounds like the most fun…; because finding a winning message is more valuable than sleep; because fatigue is nothing in the wake of victory; and because I know that this country needs change in a desperate way.” - Jeff Rector, 2006 Campaign Corps applicant
