LEAD Campaigners 
2025

Equipping Advocacy Leaders!

The 2025 LEAD Campaigners program will equip emerging public education advocates with the skills and knowledge to effectively campaign on behalf of local leaders and issues. LEAD Campaigners receive a stipend for the four month program that is designed to provide an intentional space for LEADers to think critically about the evolving challenges and opportunities within Denver's public education and political landscapes.

LEAD Campaigners takes place from January to May 2025. Participants will engage in high impact sessions on the fundamentals of running effective local campaigns through the lens of a campaign manager for a local election.​This includes working with veteran campaign experts across standalone sessions and one weekend-long retreat.

 

Sessions will be held on the following dates and times. 

  • Program Launch: Saturday, 1/25/25 from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM

  • Local Retreat: Friday, 2/28/25 to Sunday, 3/2/25
