Overview
There are over 80 colleges and universities in the state of Michigan, with nearly half a million students. Founded in 2024, For Michigan organizes students across the state to turn out in critical statewide and local elections. In 2024, our program broke campus turnout records, with more votes cast in campus precincts than in 2020, 2016, or 2012.
Building on that success, For Michigan’s 2026 campus mobilization program is investing in a statewide digital content structure driven by student-created content. Our goal is to empower thousands of students to lead their peers in registering, pledging, and voting—ensuring historic youth turnout in the 2026 midterms.
We are looking for a ** Graphic Designer** or** Multimedia Producer** to help create bold, engaging, and culturally relevant visuals that support our organizing work across campuses. The Graphic Designer will cross-functionally support For Michigan’s digital and organizing teams by producing compelling visual content for social media, digital campaigns, and campus organizing efforts.
You will work closely with the Digital Director, Deputy Digital Director, and Regional Social Media Managers to translate campaign messaging into visually engaging assets that resonate with college students. This role will help define our creative identity while actively producing content each week. This role is ideal for someone who thinks in campaign arcs, visual systems, and cultural strategy — not just individual posts or content streams.
