About Us

WeVote is a nonpartisan get-out-the-vote nonprofit startup, and a celebrated Fast Forward nonprofit technology grantee. WeVote is a movement of over 60 passionate volunteers (starting with the founders) who are building open source mobile technologies that touch and mobilize millions of voters on Election Day. We observe that many voters are busy, distracted, and impatient. We have a goal of providing a complete voting experience in 8 minutes, including the download of our app ("WeVote Ballot Guide, @WeVote"). More information is at https://WeVote.US. See Twitter WeVote" rel="nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@WeVote. We are a 100% volunteer and remote organization.

What You’ll Do

• Help the Executive Director and hiring managers with onboarding new volunteers. We add about 4 volunteers a week, and take them through a formal offer-letter process. You will be a core part of this process, which requires ~45 minutes 3-4 days per week (Mon - Fri).
• Monitor the progress of new volunteers through the onboarding process, and complete the 20+ steps required to bring in each new team member. This includes sending the offer letter, giving them access to key collaboration systems, sending welcome messages, etc.
• Remove the access to collaborations systems from volunteers who are leaving WeVote

• You are striving for personal excellence.
• A willingness to work with and support other volunteers
• You are currently located in the US and can work one or two hours that overlap with US PT per week.

Not required, but nice to have.

• If you have more than 5 hours to volunteer each week, there are other ways you can get involved with WeVote

What You’ll Gain

You will have the opportunity to touch the lives of millions of Americans, and be part of a movement and product that will receive national attention. You’ll gain an opportunity to grow within the WeVote movement and meet other volunteers who are like minded and interested in building a valuable application to empower voters across the United States.
