Detalhes
Descrição
TWCUYC is seeking community volunteers to support our nonpartisan civic education and community outreach efforts in Dallas County. Volunteers will help share important information about the voting process, available resources, and how community members can participate in civic life.
Our goal is simple. Make sure neighbors have access to clear, accurate information and remove barriers that prevent people from participating in their community.

- 3 to 4-hour canvassing shifts

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.
