Running Start is a professional training and coaching organization based in Washington, DC. It aims to increase the number of women in political leadership by encouraging young women to consider running for office. The program connects participants with role models, discusses the relevance of politics in their lives, and provides the encouragement and skills needed to pursue leadership roles. Its primary audience consists of young women who are underrepresented among elected officials in the United States. The organization notes that many women do not enter races due to confidence gaps, and it seeks to address this by developing the skills and confidence necessary for political involvement. It operates with a small to mid-sized team.
