About Us
IGNITE is building a national movement to dramatically increase the pool of women who are prepared and eager to become the next generation of political leaders. IGNITE builds political ambition in college-aged young women in their own communities. Our vision is to build a movement of young women who are civically engaged, respond to issues in their own communities, and who ultimately pursue elective office. Ignite will hope to reduce barriers for women and use the power women hold to make a change. IGNITE connects young women to elected officials - many of whom also live and work in those communities - who in turn provide internship and job opportunities in their offices and on their campaigns. We educate young women to think critically around the most pressing and personally relevant policy issues - which are almost always tied to equity, economic justice, and health and safety agendas. Then we as a club plan to train young women to advocate around those issues.
