ABOUT THE MOCK CAMPAIGN
The Mock Campaign Simulation is a 3-hour interactive and hands-on experience. Participants will be divided into mock campaign teams. They then self-select their candidate, fundraiser, campaign manager, etc. A detailed workbook will instruct the groups through a series of activities to replicate a real-life campaign.
Two local celebrity judges will provide local and relevant feedback and a winning team will win a prize!
- The program fee is $20, to go towards covering some of the food cost.
- Travel and childcare subsidies are available upon request.
- Light snacks will be available. Lunch will be provided to anyone who attends the full day.
- It is encouraged to bring your laptop/tablet to the session.
- Sessions are interactive. Nothing will be recorded. We strive to create a safe and brave space for all.
