“I was invited to a session to talk about my campaign and to learn more about Dare to Run by Dare to Run instructor Jhoanny Perez who is now a member of my cabinet team. The website had great materials and one of the strongest members of my team is using what she learned to help us. Dare to Run is an important space for women and an organization for change.” - Kristin Richardson Jordan, Candidate for District 9 Central Harlem

Dare To Run was significant in helping me learn the skills and strategies to run a campaign. The knowledge I obtained and connections I made as a Dare To Run student will help me as a candidate running for City Council for District 9 in Harlem.

I have been able to align my core values to the issues I’m fighting for from the lessons taught by the facilitators, who are experts in their fields. All of which help me amplify the voices of those in my community that have been ignored and underserved for far too long.

I was a volunteer instructor with Dare To Run., I was amazed at how this organization believed in me, and gave me the opportunity to teach fellow women as passionate like me, about civic engagement and running for office. This organization gives volunteers, supporters and women a lot of value and opportunities to grow in politics.
