ABOUT JOLT
Jolt is a non-profit organization founded in 2016 to increase the civic participation of Latinos in Texas to build a stronger democracy and ensure that everyone’s voice is heard. Jolt knows that our democracy works best when everyone gets a seat at the table. That’s why Jolt builds the leadership capacity of Latinos to mobilize their peers to action. Jolt lifts up the voices of young Latinos in Texas to tell their own stories through creative arts and acts, development institutes, and student leadership.
Jolt believes that Texas is poised for change, with a growing and disaffected Latino population. Today, 1 in 3 eligible voters in Texas is Latino and projections indicate that by 2030, Latinos will make up the majority of the state’s population. But demographics alone aren’t destiny. Winning change requires building a homegrown movement and a smart, focused, long-term strategy that can deliver equality and power to those who are most excluded and often first impacted.
ABOUT THE POSITION
Jolt believes that registering to vote is the first step in engaging with our democracy. The Voter Registration Canvasser will work with their regional team to meet a collective of 30,000 registered voters in 2024. To meet this goal, the organization is hiring a team of seasonal, full-time Voter Registration Canvasser to assist in registering new voters in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. Jolt seeks dynamic, outgoing, and hard-working individuals ready to create change in Texas during a 30 week project and requires an expedited ramp to make this project successful.
