About
Running Start is a dynamic and impactful charity dedicated to empowering young women to pursue careers in politics and public service. We are driven by the belief that the underrepresentation of women in political leadership roles is a critical issue that must be addressed to achieve a more equitable and inclusive society.
Our mission is to inspire, educate, and support the next generation of female leaders, ensuring that they have the skills, confidence, and opportunities necessary to make a lasting impact in the world of politics. We firmly believe that when women's voices are heard and their perspectives are represented in government, we can drive positive change and create policies that reflect the diverse needs and interests of our communities.

Running Start has made a profound impact on the landscape of political leadership by empowering and inspiring young women to enter the world of politics and public service. Through our programs and initiatives, we have equipped countless aspiring leaders with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to engage in the political sphere. Many of our alumnae have gone on to run for office, work on campaigns, and advocate for change, thereby diversifying and enriching the political arena. By fostering a new generation of female leaders, Running Start is not only breaking down gender barriers but also contributing to a more inclusive and representative democracy, where women's voices are heard and their perspectives shape the policies and decisions that impact our communities and the world.
