Volunteer Opportunities

Phone Banking

Connect with your community by giving them a call! Phone banking is a process that is virtually connected to our voter database that involves calling people to register to vote, get out to vote, notify them of upcoming events, and keep them in the loop with ways to be civically engaged.

Peer-to-Peer Texting

Connect with your community by sending them a text message! Through a texting application that connects to our voter database, you can send messages encouraging people to register to vote, get out to vote, notify them of upcoming events, and keep them in the loop with ways to be civically engaged.

Election Protection

Election Protection is an opportunity to ensure that voters have a safe, accessible, and comfortable environment to cast their votes. The purpose of Election Protection is to help voters, collect data that address obstacles facing voters, and support reform that advocates for increased access to the ballot.

Event Support

The Power Coalition hosts numerous events throughout the year including but not limited to listening sessions, candidate forums, and election day activities. Volunteering for event support looks like working with the Power Coalition team to set up these events, coordinating with community members, and any additional support that may be needed. *Note: Due to COVID-19 many events will be virtual (e.g. zoom, webinar, facebook live, etc.)
