The Progressive Turnout Project (PTP) Campaign Fellows Program expands
Democratic voter turnout by placing trained fellows into priority
campaigns.
For this fellowship, you will be paired with a competitive state senate campaign.
We are especially looking for fellows located in the collar counties around Philadelphia and Northeastern PA.
After being identified by a selected campaign or partner organization (e.g.,
party/legislative committee or campaign committee), Fellows are hired and
paid by PTP and to strengthen field operations in key districts. Fellows
focus on direct voter contact—especially door-to-door canvassing—to
mobilize Democratic voters and increase turnout where it matters most.
This program combines paid field experience, structured training, and real
electoral impact, making it one of the most hands-on ways to work on
competitive campaigns.
