Since 2019, we have trained more than 7,000 campaign staff and movement leaders and supported tens of thousands of others through our Arena Toolbox, Arena Careers services, and the Arena Staff Fellowship.

The post-election period can feel uncertain, but Arena is here to help. If you’ve recently lost your job or you’re feeling exhausted or uncertain, know you’re not alone. This is a normal part of campaign life—so don’t fret. Your next job opportunity is closer than you think.

We’ve created the Job Search Accelerator to support you through this moment. We’re offering networking events, resume workshops, panels, and tools to boost your job search. Explore and sign up for our events!
