We offer two kinds of workshops:

  • Public webinars are open to the public and available for viewing on our YouTube channel
  • Private training for enrolled BoardBOOST candidates only. (This is “the goods.”)

The cost of the program?

If accepted into the program, we ask only for a $100 personal donation to our 501(c)3 nonprofit voter education charity.

If you need campaigning help (nonpartisan voter list, petitions, lawn sign design, discounted postcard printing and postage to voters and fundraising help), our program is for you.

Learn The Basics

We want your expectations to match the role and work that is required of a school board member. Why are YOU needed for your school board? What’s the urgency?

Master The Requirements

There are minimum requirements when running for a school board race such as opening a campaign bank account, tracking your donations and expenditures. Candidates are required to disclose under New Jersey’s election communications laws — even that $100 donation from your neighbor.

How to Run a Campaign

We cover all about ballots, marketing, and campaigning. We provide our candidates with nonpartisan voter data — a crucial need to getting the votes. And we do it without any connection to any political party. You can run your own race independently.

Tools and Services

We provide a network of providers for you to choose from including banks that know how to set up a campaign bank account, printers for your postcards and lawn signs, and photographers for your headshots (FREE!). Our professional graphic designer customizes your campaign materials getting it ready for printing. All you have to do is to fundraise and put in the order. (We help you fundraise, too!)
