Help Her Run offerings are is open to Rhode Island residents 18 and older—no prior campaign experience required. You don’t need to have it all figured out or be committed to a specific campaign. All you need is the drive to step up and be part of something bigger.

People like you have already taken part:

• Community members passionate about creating change

• Campaign volunteers ready to level up their skills

• Activists and advocates who’ve organized, rallied, and spoken out

• Future leaders who can commit time during an election cycle—especially summer

Whether you’re looking to turn your passion into action or dive into politics for the first time, Help Her Run puts you at the heart of the action—where strategy meets purpose, and where real change begins.

Help Her Run supports the campaign workers and volunteers for women and gender expansive candidates who believe in the rights of women, LGBTQ people and bodily freedom for all.

We do not support a particular political party, nor do we endorse candidates.

We focus solely on Rhode Island.

2027 classes will be announced in early 2027. Although it’s not an election year, there are sure to be some off-cycle races that people will want to work on.
