How to Get Involved in a Political Campaign

Whattup, job seekers! For no major or timely reason whatsoever, we thought it’d be fun to talk about…politics.

Specifically, let’s chat about how to get involved in a political campaign, both in a volunteer role and as a paid gig.

Before you get too excited, you should know that there are way more volunteer positions than paid ones on political campaigns (lol). But we know that you’re more than willing to give your time and energy away for zero compensation out of the goodness of your heart, right?

Here are the most common volunteer roles:

  1. Canvassing: you know those annoying friendly folks who walk around neighborhoods asking people who they’re voting for? That could be YOU.

  2. Phone Banking: you know those annoying friendly folks who call up strangers and ask them who they’re voting for? That could be YOU.

  3. Event Support: help organize rallies, fundraisers, and town halls

  4. Office support: assist with administrative tasks

  5. Digital Outreach: get the word out on social media!

To get started as a volunteer, simply Google the campaign’s local office and find the volunteer form on their website.

Alright, now how do you get paid to work on a political campaign? You need the right experience, which means that you should def volunteer on a few first. Plus, networking plays a huge role in politics, which is why it’s easier for volunteers to move into paid positions.

Start by applying for jobs on lower-profile campaigns before you try to land a position on a high-profile campaign. The beefier your resume, the better.

Good luck out there, world changers! If a job in politics isn’t for you, scroll down to apply for new Impact Jobs.
