This is an ongoing role through Election Day. Most work can be done flexibly from home, with short check-ins around campaign activities. Some evening and weekend availability is useful because that’s when many volunteers are available.
Recruiting volunteers only helps if somebody follows up with them. The Volunteer Coordinator keeps that pipeline moving: welcoming new people, figuring out how they want to help, getting them trained, and making sure they know where to be.
A plain description of what a canvassing shift actually asks of you, so you can decide for yourself whether it fits.
Most of this role is seated computer and phone work. Occasional in-person campaign activities may involve light setup or walking.
You’ll be shown the campaign’s volunteer intake process, role list, scheduling system, communication templates, and privacy expectations. You do not need previous campaign experience.
Volunteer contact information should only be stored in approved campaign systems and should not be copied into personal contact lists or shared outside the campaign team.
Most tasks can be completed remotely. Meetings can usually be handled by phone or video, and responsibilities can be split if a particular task or schedule creates a barrier.
Expressing interest doesn’t commit you to a shift. Send us your information and someone from the campaign will follow up.
Share your availability and any questions. This does not commit you to a shift.
Expressing interest is not a commitment. Someone from the campaign will follow up before anything is scheduled. Volunteer applications are never published, your details are used only to organize volunteering, accommodation notes are seen only by the organizer, and you can ask to be removed at any time.
