WHAT IS THE TEAMTOM LEADERSHIP ACADEMY?
Team Tom Leadership Academy is an online leadership academy focused on empowering grassroots volunteer leaders across the country to lead their own Team Tom community.
IS THERE A COST TO PARTICIPATING IN THE TEAMTOM LEADERSHIP ACADEMY?
Fortunately, there is not a cost to
participating in the program. We do not want cost or
personal economics to be a barrier to anyone’s participation in gaining
key organizing skills.
HOW DO I JOIN THE TEAMTOM LEADERSHIP ACADEMY?
You must complete and submit an application by Wednesday, November 27.
WHY SHOULD I JOIN THE TEAMTOM LEADERSHIP ACADEMY?
This campaign is about more than just one
person – it’s about building a national
movement that elects new leaders at all levels of government and
returns power to
the American people. That starts when all of us get involved in our own
communities.
In three weeks, we will be breaking down what makes a successful
volunteer leader
and how to utilize those skills in your own neighborhood.
HOW MUCH TIME WILL I NEED TO DEVOTE IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TEAMTOM TRAINING ACADEMY?
We require two hours for training webinars
and a minimum of two hours per week time
commitment for post-training and campaign actions.
WHO IS THE TEAMTOM LEADERSHIP ACADEMY FOR?
Team Tom Leadership Academy is for
volunteer leaders who are willing to spread Tom’s
message, organize in their communities and lead meaningful campaign
work in their areas.
We are looking for those who will serve as neighborhood team leaders.
I DON’T HAVE THE TEAMTOM ORGANIZERS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD — CAN I STILL PARTICIPATE?
Yes, of course! We are providing you with
the training and support you need to take the
lead and organize in your community!
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
In this three week program, you will learn
how to build a community of grassroots
volunteers, recruit supporters through calls, texts, and social media,
spread Tom’s message throughout your community and get your community
engaged and excited about Tom!
WHAT TIME ARE THE TRAINING SESSIONS?
Training sessions are on Tuesdays and
Thursdays at 8pm EST/ 5pm PST. The training
sessions will last one hour on both days.
WHAT DO I NEED FOR THE TRAINING SESSIONS?

WHAT IF I AM NOT AVAILABLE FOR ALL THE TRAINING SESSIONS?

commitment in attending the training session will be essential to you
learning the
information and tools to be a volunteer leader for your community.
