3) Election Protection Volunteer Prep (EP)

  Support Election Protection volunteer recruitment and onboarding (sign-ups, reminders, follow-up scripts)

  Help prepare volunteer training materials (checklists, one-pagers, slide notes, FAQ updates)

• Interest in organizing, elections, and/or civic engagement

• Ability to write clearly and warmly (English required; Spanish strongly preferred)

You’ll have weekly check-ins with the Program Manager and Senior Organizer leading Election Protection, and ongoing guidance from the Executive Director. You’ll receive clear deliverables, templates, and feedback throughout the summer.
