Some of the volunteer opportunities we provide:

• Event Committees is a 3-6 month commitment, typically evening meetings weekly or bi-weekly until the event is completed.
• Canvassing or Phone Banking is a one-time volunteer opportunity or can be done many times depending on availability. Volunteers are needed during campaigns for ACT’s Integrated Voter Engagement work. ACT hosts 3-4 campaigns annually. Volunteer shifts are typically 3-4 hours on evenings or weekends.
• Office Support is needed during normal business hours, Monday through Friday 9am-5pm daily. Volunteers support administrative and project tasks in the office. Volunteers shifts are typically done weekly or bi-weekly depending on the volunteer’s schedule.
• Outreach is an intermittent way to get involved with ACT to participate in tabling at events or supporting ACT’s campaigns such as Don’t Let a Hot Date Turn Into a Due Date. Volunteers are called upon as needed.
