What are the hours?
This Community Connector role is a fixed six hour, flexible, temporary, part-time position.
You’ll choose from a variety of times to attend an onboarding, two remote work sessions & a 30min debrief (totalling 4.5 hours), along with spending a maximum of 1.5 hr outside Zoom talking to eligible Millennial & Gen Z voters in your life about voting. This program runs in the weeks leading up to the municipal elections.

You’ll also need to join TWO hour-long ‘Outreach Jams’ taking place in the weeks leading up to Election Day. Outreach Jams are online work sessions during which program participants gather to continue reaching out to their own community, connect with other participants and program facilitators about election questions, and get support from the program managers.
Finally, you will need to talk to your friends outside of those sessions on a schedule that works for you, and complete a quick program debrief.
Compensation - You are expected to complete all program requirements, including:
- Attending three zoom sessions (1 onboarding and 2 outreach jams)
- Having non-partisan conversations with the young people in your own networks and logging those conversations in a spreadsheet we will provide
