As a Fayetteville Organizer, you will act as a representative in Fayetteville in the leadup to local 2021 elections. You’ll help recruit, organize, and engage a team of "Voting Captains" in your community. 

​

Voting Captains are local volunteers who each commit to getting 10 friends to vote. Turnout Nation provides orientation sessions for Voting Captains on how to get out the vote with people they know. Equipped with our technology tool, the Empower App, Voting Captains will get key election information and reminders so their friends never miss an important deadline. Organizers who are also students can participate in our Student Organizing Fellows program and get credits and/or participate in a voter education project.

​

According to a Tufts Circle 2020 report, nearly ⅓ of young people would participate in civic engagement if given an easy opportunity. Not only will you help raise turnout in a local election, you will also offer a first step for many in becoming more civically engaged in future elections or movements. Currently we offer a 3-month Organizer opportunity in NC. This is a paid position with access to training and mentorship from Turnout Nation and Organizing Empowerment.
