    Description

    Community Canvassing Volunteer

    Volunteer Opportunity, April 25

    TWCUYC is seeking community volunteers to support a non-partisan civic education and outreach effort in Dallas County.

    On April 25th at 9:30 AM, volunteers will join us in the Bonton community, Precinct 3029, to help share clear, accurate information about the voting process and available resources.

    Our goal is simple. Make sure neighbors have access to information and remove barriers that prevent people from participating in their community.

    Instructions:

    Please note that canvassing involves significant walking. Volunteers may walk through neighborhoods, apartment complexes, and community spaces while speaking with residents and distributing information. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes, bringing water, and dressing for the weather.

    If walking long distances may be difficult for you, we still welcome your help. Volunteers who prefer to participate from home or in a seated setting can support our phone-banking outreach instead. Phone banking plays an important role in sharing voter information with community members.

    If you would prefer phone banking instead of canvassing, please contact us, and we will help you sign up for the next available shift.
