Voter Registration Field Director

About The Outreach Team

The Outreach Team is a premier national field firm. We partner with organizations working to solve some of the biggest problems facing our society -- from protecting human rights to fighting climate change -- and help them build the resources they need to make an impact. We are a people-powered enterprise; our campaigns are effective because we hire diverse teams of talented people, invest in our staff, and treat them well.  

Voter registration is a crucial first step to empowering citizens to make their voices heard and creating meaningful change in our democracy. We will be registering new voters who agree with our progressive values, such as abortion, taxing the wealthy, climate, and immigration.
