Current Volunteer Opportunities
2008 Vote for a Change Campaign!
Candidate Forum
Volunteer at our Candidate Forum in September (24th or 25th): We’ll ask candidates in our target areas to answer questions about the issues facing people with low incomes. Volunteering includes set-up, clean-up and other logistical help.
Phone Banks
Get Out the Vote (GOTV) phone banking requires the highest number of volunteers and is an ongoing activity. Every T, W, TH from the end of September through Election Day (11/4) we'll be calling 30,000 low-income, low-frequency voters, giving them information about ballot initiatives and identifying voters’ key issues.
Before September, we're looking for volunteers to help us call our members to recruit more volunteers for phone banking! Please contact us ASAP to find out how to participate in this end of phone banking. We'll provide the lists, the scripts and the phones and you provide your energetic phone skills. We usually host phone banks in the evenings, 5:30-8pm. Food and drinks always provided.
General Office Assistance
Database Assistance
One of the most important assets we have is the ability to contact our members. In order to do this, we must keep our database up-to-date. Come in and help us clean out duplicates and 'bad' addresses and phone numbers. This is a mellow and easy way to help.
Something else?
Not able to do one of these activities, but want to volunteer? Drop us a line and let us know. Our Volunteer Coordinator will work with you to set up opportunities that fit your interests and talents.
