Growing Leaders Rooted in Fairness, Dignity, and Opportunity for All

Elevate Academy 2025

Building Power, Leading Change
Fargo, ND | October 17–19, 2025

Are you ready to step into leadership—and bring your community with you?

Elevate Academy is a one-of-a-kind leadership training designed for people who want to lead change, whether by running for office, serving on boards, or becoming powerful advocates for the issues they care about most.

Over one dynamic weekend, you’ll:
Gain practical skills for campaigns, advocacy, and leadership.
Build confidence in your voice, your story, and your vision for change.
Expand your network with mentors, peers, and allies across North Dakota.
Leave with a plan—not just inspiration—to put your leadership into action.

We’re looking for leaders who believe in fairness, dignity, and opportunity for all—and who are ready to step into the roles where they can shape the future of North Dakota.

Through interactive workshops, real-world practice, and honest conversations, you’ll walk away with the tools to launch a campaign, drive an issue forward, or strengthen your influence where you already serve.

Elevate Academy isn’t about waiting for permission—it’s about stepping into your power now.

👉 Space is limited, so don’t wait! Apply now to secure your spot and take the next step toward leading change in your community. Apply today and join us October 17–19 in Fargo.
