Dare to Run Inc

The mission of Dare to Run is to educate and empower women with the skills necessary to run for public office at the local, state and national level of government. 

We offer female college graduates the chance to participate in a two-year certificate program in pursuit of a career path in public service. Dare to Run gives women the opportunity to be a voice for their communities by committing to run campaigns in search of elected office within two years of graduation from the program.

​

Dare to Run’s mission is to provide women with the skills they need to be successful during the campaign and throughout their term in office by:​

Teaching women the history of women’s public participation in the United States since its inception

Coaching women to use their voices to effect public policy change and champion issues of importance to their communities

Instilling the fundamentals of successful campaign management, with an emphasis on successful fundraising strategies for women candidates

Cultivating a new generation of female public servants who value their constituents and use their tenure in office to serve the needs of their community as best they can
