Oregon has something like this called NEW Leadership Oregon [(NLO),](https://www.pdx.edu/womens-leadership/new-leadership-oregon) which is a week-long training camp for women who want to be influential professionals. It's geared towards convincing folks to run for office, but alumna of the program have gone on to be badass in all kinds of fields. Above all, it's about mentoring other women to get them into positions of power, whether in city council or in the classroom.

I was in the 2013 cohort, and though I have since decided not to run for office, I still really value the experience, especially the friendships and professional connections I made there. It also really helped boost my confidence, which contributed to all the wins I've had since then (study abroad, applying to the McNair program, applying to grad school).

That's awesome!! I'll say that my experiences being elected have also helped me with other professional "wins" as well.

I'm just not of the right temperament to run for anything, and I've been so busy with school that now is not the time. I'm a fairly solitary person, and struggle with self-promotion (sort of related to a recent post of mine), so running for office has always seemed exhausting to me, but I served in student government in an appointed position, and it definitely was a valuable experience!

That's 100% fair! I think this hearkens to my conversation with @tygertyger below, we need people in all the spaces to make change.
