General Volunteering Opportunities: Digital Democracy
Job Description
“Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless.” – Sherry Anderson
About Us
WeVote is a nonpartisan "get-out-the-vote" nonprofit startup and a celebrated Fast Forward nonprofit technology grantee. WeVote is building a movement of excellent, passionate, part-time volunteers (starting with the founders) who build mobile technologies that will touch and mobilize millions of voters on Election Day.
We believe that many voters are busy, distracted, and impatient. Our goal is to provide a positive voting experience that helps people decide how to vote. More information is available at https://www.wevote.us or on Twitter @WeVote.
Please review our open volunteer positions and apply for the position(s) that match your qualifications. We will do our best to respond within two business days to your application.
If you don't see a specific opportunity that is of interest, and you would like to be considered for another volunteer role, please use the "General Volunteering Opportunities" role and include a detailed note letting us know where you would like to volunteer.
At this time we can only consider volunteers and interns who are currently residing in the US.
