Introducing the Next Generation of Talent

There's a way to help inspirational campaigns beyond knocking on doors and sending money.

We youngsters are artists and organizers, techies and wordsmiths, students and professionals. We have skills and talents that aren't being realized by traditional volunteer models for campaigns.

Until now, people like us couldn't prove our skills and put them to work for campaigns, so candidates spent tens of thousands of dollars paying professionals to do the sort of work we're ready and willing to do in our spare time.

That just doesn't make sense.

There's a better way, and it's called the Next Generation of Talent Initiative

Hi, I’m a student at Brandeis University, working at the Progressive Change Campaign Committee this summer. Speaking for myself, I am frustrated by my lack of options for supporting campaigns I believe in. Right now, there isn’t much an ordinary citizen can do to support national or far-away activism beyond sending money.

I'm here with an alternative: the Next Generation of Talent platform.

Here's how it works:

1. Fill out a form listing your special skills, tools, and talents at http://BoldProgressives.org/talent

2. When a bold progressive campaign needs our help, they'll contact us and see if we're interested in helping.

3: Success! We all can connect with a campaign that needs and appreciates our unique talents.

We get to volunteer in a meaningful and creative way, and campaigns get specialized volunteer help. Everybody wins.
