We convene, train, and support the next generation of candidates and campaign staff.
Democrats must invest in electing the next generation of leaders.
But we can’t just recruit candidates. We need to build campaigns that are designed to win.
Yet candidates overwhelmingly report difficulty finding trained, qualified, and diverse staff. And aspiring staff struggle to get trained, coached, and hired.
That’s why Arena is building a progressive talent pipeline that reflects the diversity of our country.
We recruit and train campaign staff, connect them to promising campaigns, and then support both staff and candidates on the path to victory — going the extra mile to ensure that a new generation of political leaders gets elected to office.
Arena Academy
We provide best-in-class training to aspiring campaign staff, with a focus on recruiting and supporting women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Arena Careers
We connect Academy graduates with career opportunities on campaigns and in progressive organizations through 1:1 coaching, direct referrals, and our bespoke Arena Careers platform, the LinkedIn for politics.
Arena Toolbox
We support campaign staffers and candidates with a collection of free toolkits, tutorials, and templates for building winning campaigns.
