==Campaign School==
The Annie’s List Campaign School seeks to politically empowering young people while helping elect prochoice, Democratic women in Texas. Each year Annie's List trains individuals just out of college at an intense week-long Campaign School and then places them on the campaigns of Annie’s List endorsed women candidates for the last 3 months of the election.

While on the campaign trail, participants receive a monthly stipend, free housing and paid travel expenses to and from the campaign. During their placement period, these trained staffers function as a full-time member of the campaign team – filling whatever role the campaign needs upon their arrival in early August.

After Election Day, Annie’s List helps to find them their next job in prochoice/Democratic politics.

Annie's List writes of their strategy,<ref>[http://annieslist.org/CampaignSchool.aspx Annie's List: ''Campaign School''] (accessed on April 21, 2012)</ref>
:''"These professionally trained staffers are an invaluable in-kind contribution to our women candidates who, at no cost to the campaign, help them reach their fundraising, communications, and/or voter contact goals. In other words, Annie’s List is changing the face of power in Texas by training the next generation of Democratic activists and electing more women to office at the same time."''
