The 2024 Team Trudeau Fellowship Program is a grassroots Liberal volunteer leadership initiative that empowers and provides Fellows with the training, mentorship, and skills they need to lead Days of Action and train other volunteers on the way to the next campaign, whenever it arrives.

The Fellowship Program pairs volunteer Fellows with a Liberal Party of Canada Field Organizer in their riding, to mentor them on grassroots community organizing, digital organizing, and how to support strong and successful election campaigns across the country.

This community leadership program is for volunteers from all backgrounds and who are at least 14 years of age. Everyone participating in our democracy should feel welcomed, included, and free from harassment, and the fellowship program is committed to creating a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for all.

Our fellows will complete an 8-week training program. Fellows will complete weekly trainings and volunteer opportunities over the course of the eight weeks. Fellows will meet with their teams on Wednesday evenings and will complete other responsibilities throughout the week. All of the training will be done virtually from the comfort of your home! In addition to these volunteer activities, they will take part in Days of Action, hear from special guest speakers, and participate in national webinars. If you are a volunteer who is ready to help build a better Canada and take on a leadership role in your community, this program is for you!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Should I become a Team Trudeau Fellow?

    If you support the Liberal Party of Canada and our work together to keep Canada moving forward, and if you are a volunteer who is ready to take on a leadership role in your community, this program is for you!

    Our Fellowship Program is an excellent opportunity to grow as a leader and learn valuable skills in community organizing. Fellows help connect people in communities across Canada who share our commitment to build a better and stronger country for everyone. As a Fellow, you will be paired with a Field Organizer who will act as your mentor and guide you through this experience. Most importantly, it’s a fun way to make new friends and build relationships as we continue to engage Canadians and grow our movement in every part of the country.

  • Once I apply to become a Fellow, what’s next?

    After you submit your application and officially register as a Liberal, you will hear from a Field Organizer who will reach out to discuss what brought you to the Liberal Party, why you’re interested in becoming a Fellow, and share next steps!

    Over the course of 8 weeks, Fellows will take online training, and learn all the skills they need to lead Days of Action and help grow our movement all across the country. Training will also include one-on-one conversations with your Field Organizer and mentor. Fellows will participate in a weekly national training featuring special guest speakers, the latest organizing skills, and opportunities to connect with members of our team across the country.

  • What do Fellows do after training?

    Throughout the training, and afterwards, Fellows become grassroots organizing leaders, and help grow our movement in every part of Canada with innovative organizing. Once you are ready, our team will equip you with the skills to lead local phone banking campaigns from home or canvassing doors in-person.

  • How big of a commitment is the Fellowship program?

    On your way to becoming a Fellowship Graduate, you will spend up to 5 hours a week training and building your skills. This includes a national webinar, self guided training resources, and skill building activities that you work on with fellows in your region. Activities include getting to know your riding, writing your personal story, running a community event, or leading your team’s Days of Action.

    Fellows will be asked to reach out to supporters in their community, help build local teams of supporters, and introduce new volunteers to our training. Fellows will play a crucial role in election readiness and team building across the country, as we work together to build a better Canada for everyone.

  • What is a Field Organizer, and how do they work with the Fellows?

    Field Organizers are the staff with the Liberal Party of Canada who work on the ground in communities across Canada helping connect and train local volunteers, building relationships, and facilitating our outreach for multiple ridings. They are experienced community organizers who will share their knowledge and skills with Fellows, helping to guide them through the program and become strong community leaders.

  • What if I don’t have the time, and don’t feel ready to be a Fellow?

    Don’t worry! People of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of experience are welcome to join the Liberal Party of Canada as volunteers at whatever pace works for them. We appreciate your support!
