Campus Fellow

About Project 26 Pennsylvania

Interested in a career in politics or activism?

At Project 26, we have proven that young people don't need to “work their way up” in order to determine the outcome of an election. We invest directly in student leaders now, offering the support and resources they need to organize their own college campus to vote in the 2024 election. 

What Will You Do?

Fellows will work with Campus Organizers to build a movement on campus to build excitement around the 2024 Elections and mobilize young voters to the polls. This is an excellent opportunity to get an inside look at how political campaigns work while contributing to a crucial Pennsylvania election.

The role will start ASAP and run through November 5th. Fellows will spend 10 - 15 hours a week talking to students about the importance of the upcoming election for issues like reproductive rights, climate change, democracy, and economic justice. Tactics include high-traffic canvassing, tabling, door-to-door canvassing, and class/student organization visits. The position will be based at one of Pennsylvania’s universities and requires a significant amount of in-person work. This is just a brief outline of the position and includes all other duties as assigned.

Who Are You?

As a successful candidate for this job, you will:

• Have a passion for civic engagement and inspiring young people to get involved
• Be excited to think outside the box and to ideate and innovate to find the most exciting and effective GOTV tactics
• Be eager to talk to as many students as possible (and be comfortable talking to a lot of strangers/potential volunteers)
• Be scrappy and flexible; able to manage several tasks simultaneously
• Be a self-starter, exceptionally well-organized, and have strong time management skills
• Be enrolled at one of our focus universities. Non-students can apply to be a full-time Campus Organizer.

Compensation: Campus Fellows are paid an hourly rate of $16.67 and are expected to work 10-15 hours per week. Anything over 15 hours in a week must receive prior approval from the Organizing Director.

We are an equal opportunity employer and we strongly encourage Black, indigenous, people of color, women, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and others who identify with underrepresented groups to apply.
