Dear Voter,
Apollo Project is hiring several part time civil rights workers. Position #1 is canvasser for Summer 2026. Position # 2 is for Fall/Winter/Spring 2025-26. Your primary responsibility for Position # 2 will be to work as a field organizer, volunteer coordinator and fundraiser. You will build a team of 10 - 15 volunteers to field organize and share our message with the public. You must own or have access to a color printer and laptop computer and know how to use Excel and have Microsoft Office.
Shifts are twice a week from 4 – 9 pm Saturdays and Sundays and during the week, Monday - Friday either 11 am – 4 pm or 4 pm – 9 pm. You will work two shifts a week. Every week you must drop off petitions at 1925 Commonwealth Ave. Brighton MA 02135 & enter data into Excel. We are flexible about which shifts you take.
You can work from 11 am - 4 pm during the week and must work 2 days in a row. You are expected to work canvassing outdoors on day one and inside on day two. This is a remote position that will work with a minimum of supervision. You will be expected to train other activists to phone bank for us. Telephone skills are a must and previous marketing experience is highly desirable. During the days and evenings, you will be collecting signatures, addresses, telephone numbers & e-mails for our petition to pass the Freedom to Vote Act & H.R. 14 / & the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
V.R.A. is critical to defending the civil rights that generations have struggled to achieve. You must have reliable transportation such as the T in the City of Boston, or the Commuter Rail or MBTA bus. A car is a plus but not a must. Previous experience fundraising or on an electoral campaign are a plus, but we will train the right candidate if we are a good match.
