Campus Coordinator, Environmental Voter Project (Various Locations)

The Environmental Voter Project is seeking applicants for its selective Campus Coordinator Program for the 2019-2020 academic year. Each Campus Coordinator will work closely with EVP’s Organizing Director to build a campus-specific organizing plan and then oversee all organizing and voter contact for that designated college campus. Campus Coordinator responsibilities will also include:

  • Outreach to campus environmental and political groups.
  • Organizing campus voter registration drives.
  • Coordinating campus-wide campaigns/canvasses to encourage people to sign “Environmental Voter Pledges.” Environmental Voter Pledges simply ask people to pledge to (1) vote in every election and (2) always prioritize environmental issues. (An example of EVP’s online pledge form can be found here: https://www.environmentalvoter.org/sign-the-pledge). Multiple studies have proven that these simple pledges can dramatically increase turnout rates, even among people who have never voted before.
  • Helping to promote EVP’s social media messaging.
  • Organizing EVP volunteer events, including text banking, phone banking, and canvassing events.
