The Student Organizer will work with Jolt’s Regional Organizers to:

• Create a culture of civic engagement on campus by identifying opportunities to register voters in classrooms, at campus events, and while tabling.
• Build power for our community through voter registration and collecting pledge‑to‑vote cards so voters never miss an election.
• Contribute to our power to turnout and turn‑up the heat on elected officials that do not treat our community with the respect we deserve by inputting pledge card data so that people can receive election reminders.
• Join Jolt’s Get out the Vote efforts by conducting outreach via EveryAction, ThruText, and/or tabling.
