Get-Out-The-Vote Canvasser - Twin Cities, MN

The Outreach Team is a field firm specializing in face-to-face canvassing operations. We fuel the nation's leading groups to register voters, turn out the vote, and win on election day.

We are currently seeking Get-Out-The-Vote Canvassers and Team Leaders to join us on an important and exciting campaign to turn out hundreds of Democratic voters in the Twin Cities leading up to Primary Election Day on August 11.

We are hiring canvassers for a voter mobilization project that has been proven to generate votes. Canvassers will engage with the voters at polling places in a friendly, professional, and most importantly, safe manner.

Team Leaders will be responsible for managing a small group of canvassers out in the field at a specific polling location. Team Leaders coach and train canvassers and report to directors.

Team Leaders are responsible for debriefing with their team at the end of the day and ensuring proper data reporting.

COVID-19 has altered the political landscape, but one thing remains the same - we will need to have in-person conversations to maximize voter turnout and win this year and we can do this safely. We will provide PPE and substantial health and safety training.
