General Overview: We are currently seeking Voter Registration Canvassers and Team Leaders to join us on an important and exciting non-partisan campaign to help tens of thousands of people register to vote at college campuses across the country.
The COVID-19 pandemic has upended our everyday lives, but voting is a fundamental right, and our pursuit of a truly representative democracy demands that we engage every eligible voter to register and vote in November. In order to do that, we can not skip having in-person conversations with people to register a lot of them to vote.
Thankfully, we have developed health and safety protocols to do this work with low risk. We will employ contactless voter registration through cell phones. In addition we will provide PPE as well as health and safety training to make sure we can do this critical work while keeping our staff and the people in our communities safe.

They will ensure everyone in their group is set up in the correct place with all of the necessary materials, they will check in with their team throughout the day to evaluate skills and confirm proper health and safety measures are being followed.
