This is an educational opportunity for anyone passionate about advancing the priorities of young people through electoral politics. Campus Fellows will learn how to contact and motivate voters, execute voter contact plans (tabling, door knocking, texting and calling), and participate in content creation.

There will be opportunities for fellows to pilot their own ideas as they support Coordinated Campaign staff. Fellows will gain extensive networking opportunities and acquire new skills and valuable professional development opportunities.

Campus Fellows should be able to dedicate 15-18 hours weekly to campaign work. They will be organized, possess a strong social battery, and be willing to engage with their peers and strangers about politics. Campus Fellows will report to a Campus Organizer.
