  • Direct voter contact, including block walking, phone banking, and texting voters

  • Recruitment of volunteers over the phone

  • Train and manage volunteers to participate in direct voter contact

  • Must have access to a vehicle or other reliable transportation

  • Willingness to work during evenings and weekends as needed
