WHAT IS CAMPAIGN SCHOOL?
Our campaign school gives you the knowledge, tools, and resources to take that first step into politics — federal, provincial, municipal, or hey, even head of the PTA. Whatever level you’re aiming for, our courses will leave you ready to lead with the confidence, skills, and vision to create the change you want to see in your community.
REQUIREMENTS
Are you a woman, non-binary, or gender-diverse individual? Then you’re in! Equal Voice welcomes people from all walks of life, all ages, all backgrounds, and all levels of education. All you need is a positive attitude and an eagerness to learn.
