Empowering Communities Through Shared Aspirations

Current job opportunities are posted here as they become available.

Merrimack Services is a people-first company that leads door-to-door voter mobilization programs across the country, and is working with Progressive Turnout Project, the largest voter contact organization in the country, specifically dedicated to mobilizing the Democratic Party and defending democracy.

OUR MISSION:

Rally Virginia Democrats to vote!

OPPORTUNITY:

Do you want to make a difference in your community? We are seeking enthusiastic Door Knockers to help get out the vote for Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections! Door knockers will have conversations with voters at their homes and talk to them about the importance of making their voices heard.

As independent contractors, door knockers may complete every part of the program on their own schedule, and have the flexibility to knock on doors and talk to voters when and where they choose–no schedule or time commitment is required. This is a great opportunity for individuals with other personal or professional commitments who are seeking a flexible option!

Door Knockers will be paid $125 for each completed door knocking packet, which can be done in a location convenient for you and on your own schedule. It takes the typical Door Knocker about three-four hours to complete each packet, which can be done all at once or over multiple days–it’s up to you! If you successfully complete your first door knocking packet, you’ll be offered additional opportunities.

Door Knocking will begin August 25th and continue through Nov. 3rd. Door Knockers will be able to set their own schedules and working hours.

TASKS:

Complete an online briefing that will provide an overview of your contract responsibilities.

Travel door-to-door in your community or in a surrounding region and knock doors to speak with voters.

Talk to voters about the upcoming election on November 3rd.

Door Knocking can be done all at once or over multiple periods of time.

Enter data from all conversations with voters into an app on your phone.

HOURS AND PAYMENT:

All Door Knockers will be *independent contractors* and paid $125 per completed door knocking packet. Door Knockers may choose their own door knocking hours, but must complete their full task to be eligible for compensation. Compensation will be provided by direct deposit, or by mailed check if requested
