Why It Matters

We need different and collaborative leaders in elected decision-making roles to have the courage and skills to tackle the challenges of the 21st century. Simply put, we need to have people with different voices and life experiences stepping into elected leadership roles to help govern our communities better. 

What It Is

A mix of virtual and (eventually) in-person training to offer practical and meaningful advice to help female, Indigenous, Black, racialized and youth candidates in Wellington County build successful and effective campaign teams for 2022.

Goals

  1. Diversify the leadership in elected roles across Wellington County
  2. Give candidates tools, support and encouragement needed to win
  3. Celebrate and encourage more participation in our democracy (in and out of politics)

Phase 3: Mentoring

Mar – Oct 2022 | We hope to partner female, Indigenous, Black, racialized and youth candidates with experienced campaigners who will share 1-2 hours a month of ongoing advice and mentorship.
