Take the House back '06 Camp Wellstone training 4 working in campaigns


Wellstone Action is bringing our work to a large national scale so we can meet the growing demand for effective, practical training for the progressive movement. We now have 7 established training programs that we will bring across the country in 2006:

-Camp Wellstone - our flagship program - provides a mass, popular introductory training for people interested in working in campaigns, on issues or in being candidates for elected office.
-Advanced Campaign Management School provides skills and leadership development for individuals interested in or already employed as senior staff in electoral campaigns.
-Campus Camp Wellstone provides young people access to the organizing skills necessary to conduct more effective issue-based campaigns on campuses and in communities, as well as to be key volunteers and staff in electoral campaigns.
-Labor Training Program provides union workers with the skills and perspective necessary to run strong internal organizing campaigns, as well as to win on ballot measures and elect candidates.
-Camp Sheila Wellstone provides advocates and supporters in the domestic violence and sexual assault movements with the skills necessary to expand their base and win victories in the legislative arena.
-Voter Engagement Schools provide skills and leadership development that help nonprofit, community-based organizations engage their often under-represented constituencies in nonpartisan political organizing.
-Trainer Retreats are periodic gatherings for members of our training network to help hone teaching styles and skills.

I am a Camp Wellstone grad. March 2005, Monmouth College, NJ. If you wish to work for a House candidate in 2006, and think you may not have the background, sign up for Camp Wellstone,
& Get ready to take the House back in 2006. This is the premiere program of its kind in the country. I highly recommend Camp Wellstone.

Win the house back in '06

3. wazup MAINE--- these programs are a
great way to get the background to enter the fray, to get into the trenches. You will have the opportunity to network with folks from your area that are committed to kickin ass in 2006.

I worked in the Kerry '04 campaign in Florida, I wanted to build on that experience.

March '05 Camp cost me 75 bucks for 3 days, I got 3 meals, a 3 ring binder an inch and a half thick, more info packed classes than I thought possible. I met DEMS from my Home state.

DO you want to be in trenches when we win in '06? Then take this program.

9. Another Camp Wellstone grad here!
June '05, candidate track. It's the greatest political training I have ever had, and I really enjoyed meeting and getting to know the other people in my class as well!

I highly recommend doing whatever is necessary to attend Camp Wellstone!
