The Steady

Advocacy, Staff and Candidate Training

The Steady was founded by staffers and advocates to build a resilient community and build a workforce bench in the political eco system. 

The Steady is dedicated to cultivating a resilient community comprising committed staff, advocates, and candidates striving to drive change in communities. Our programs provide accessible training that accommodates attendees’ busy schedules, aligning with key election periods such as municipal, legislative, special, or federal elections. Whether setting up training for a specific issue campaign or integrating training into a long-term program with an organization, The Steady is devoted to adapting to meet trainees where they are.
