Campaign Corps is a competitive program that trains recent college graduates to work on targeted progressive Democratic campaigns for the three months leading up to election day. Staffers go through campaign school, which is a mixture of lectures and discussions, combined with a simulated campaign where teams compete against each other to win. Members are sent to a local, state or federal race for a progressive Democratic candidate. The weekend after Election Day, everyone reunites in Washington, DC for a retreat.
