We Are Hiring

Campus Ambassadors Wanted!

Paid position for college students interested in helping build and mobilize support for mobile voting on your college campus.

Who We Are:

We are a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization working to make it easier to vote in this country by adding mobile voting options so more voters can vote from the convenience of their mobile devices. Far too many voters do not vote because it remains too hard to access and cast a ballot, particularly college students and other young voters who face numerous barriers to voting with existing options. 

It’s time to add mobile voting options to make voting easier and more convenient and meet voters where they are. We know mobile voting works.  We have funded over 20 pilot elections in seven states since 2018, and mobile voting has been used around the world for over 20 years.  New technology promises to enhance not only the security and transparency of mobile voting, but even increase trust in election results by giving voters and the public tools to verify everything is working and the election result is correct. 

In order to expand access to mobile voting options, we are focused on building a movement to raise awareness about the need for mobile voting and build support to enact policy changes at the state and local level so more voters can use mobile voting in the future. That’s why we need college students like you to serve as ambassadors on your campus and help raise awareness about this initiative.

The Position:

We are seeking college students excited about helping build a grassroots movement for mobile voting by serving as Mobile Voting Campus Ambassadors. You will work independently and as a part of a larger national team, engaging in outreach activities designed to build support for mobile voting on your college campus.
