SOAR Academy
Running a campaign is hard, and winning is harder.
Finding time to do it all while juggling work, family commitments, and more means you need flexibility and support.
That’s why we built SOAR Academy: 10 hours of self-paced, online training with resources and templates to help you hit the ground running, PLUS weekly office hours with a professional political consultant.
SOAR Academy is the first step in training you to take our jobs one day.
What do winning campaigns have in common?
They’re prepared, organized, and well-managed.
Whether you’re a grassroots candidate or an experienced politico, SOAR Academy can help you walk away with the knowledge, skill, and confidence to lead campaigns to victory.
Why choose SOAR?
There are lots of options out there, and decision fatigue is real.
SOAR makes getting started in politics easy. We made SOAR for the underdog, for the person getting started in politics, or the person who just doesn’t have time.
We made SOAR for you.
Here’s what makes this choice simple:
Live personal support every week: Every week, you’ll have access to one of our team members to ask questions and get guidance on your campaign in office hours. How many classes let you have personal time with a professional political consultant, where you can check in, ask questions, and get personalized feedback? We can think of one.
Flexible, self-paced schedule: Go as fast or slow as you need to. Working a full-time job and don’t have time to do a cohort or live in-person thing? With SOAR, you can choose exactly when, where, and what you want to learn. SOAR is efficient, intentional, and takes just 10 hours to complete.
Granular, in-depth training: Most consultants only tell you what to do, but we’ll show you how to do it. We want you to walk away with the skills you need to run a winning campaign and maybe even make a career out of this. So many progressive candidates desperately need good people who know what they’re doing. Every trained operative means one more person to support Democrats getting elected to office. Isn’t that why we’re all here?
Free community: Politics is all about connections. SOAR gives you access to a whole network of progressives for free, where you can build relationships, attend free educational events, check out our how-to resources, and so much more.
Access to professionals: Academy gives you front-row access to our team of professional political consultants for questions or advice. We both want the same thing: progressives in office. Let us help you.
Who runs SOAR?
SOAR is run by a team of professional political consultants and strategists at Evinco Strategies. We are progressive Democratic politicos who are passionate about demystifying the political campaign process and breaking down the barriers to access for women, people of color, people in the LGBTQIA+ community, first-time candidates, and others who have historically been locked out of our political systems.
With a combined 60+ years of political experience in consulting, management, fundraising, digital, communications, field strategy & organizing, policy advocacy, media, and nonprofit work — we’ve learned a lot.
We’re passionate, hardworking, knowledgeable, and willing to share.
SOAR Academy is created and managed by award-winning Evinco Campaigns. Learn more about what we do.
Our Goals and Values
Privilege protects power by intentionally making politics hard.
We believe the power belongs to communities and people impacted by the decisions — and we’re dedicated to making sure that candidates, campaign teams, and movement leaders have the information they need to pull the levers of power.
We’re here to strategize with you and make this easier.
Our Services
Build Relationships
None of us can do this alone. The problems are just too big. The only path forward is together.
The political industry has locked out those with few resources or little experience. We reject that. There’s enough work to go around, and we’ll need each other to get it done.
This community connects action-oriented progressives and Democrats to make the gatekeepers irrelevant.
Get Results
We show you how to raise money, write compelling messaging, use algorithms to our advantage, recruit and train volunteers, create thoughtful policies, and more.
SOAR will provide you with tangible resources you can apply to your campaign and immediately start meeting your goals. This is a working community. We are accessible to you.
Let’s get sh*t done, together.
