OUR TRAINING PROGRAM

Since 2002, Emerge California has trained
over 850 Democratic women to
run for political office.

• When graduates run for office, they win nearly 70% of the time.

• More than 200 Emerge California alums currently serve in political office!

Want to see more women being trained and inspired to run?


THE EMERGE CALIFORNIA CHILD CARE INITIATIVE

Established on Mother’s Day 2019, the Child Care Initiative is an Emerge California
program
that offers child care grants to any current Emerge California
program member
during the time of their candidate training.

The goal of the initiative is to ensure that women leaders across the state have
the 
needed resources to participate in the
Emerge California signature candidate training program.


THE EMERGE CALIFORNIA SCHOLARSHIP FUND

One way we ensure that brilliant Democratic women leaders from across
the state
 have access to our effective candidate training program is our Scholarship Fund.

All program members are offered scholarships
of up to $750 (50% of the $1,500 tuition).

These scholarships can be used for the
tuition itself
 or other costs that program members incur, such as child care and transportation costs.

We believe no woman accepted
into the program should be prevented
from participating due to lack of resources.
