There is no mission state represented by an official of the non-profit. This reads like a mysterious circus act with a magic curtain hiding everyone responsible.

Contributions to the following article: "Running Start: Bringing Young Women to Politics"
My objective is to provide clarifications to the article from a first hand perspective having worked as a Running Start Intern in 2016.
-Before jumping into an "overview" section, a history section should be provided detailing the organization's founding by Susannah Wellford under the WUFPAC. -The terminology of "Campaign College" is outdated for it has since been changed to "Elect Her" which is the training program provided by Running Start to advise young women in their student government pursuits. -The Women to Watch Awards is actually the Young Women to Watch Awards and, in recent years, has been held at the National Museum of Women in the Arts rather than the National Press Club. -Can include a section of similar organizations that also collaborate with Running Start like She Should Run and American Association of University Women. -The article lacks a picture. I believe Running Start's logo would suffice. -At the end of the article, pictures of the organization's old office building and new one can be included. ] -Include personal backgrounds of the staff: Susannah Wellford (Founder), Melissa Richmond (Vice President), and Sara Blanco (Operations Manager). -Testimonials of participants of YWPL, for example, would be a great addition attesting to the organization's success and impact. -A few links do not work/are irrelevant.
