Opportunities From: Center for Community Engagement

Volunteer: Civic Influencer

Civic Influencers is a nonpartisan, nonprofit that activates young people’s civic power through organizing, learning, and advocacy. We use real-time data to draw attention to democracy power outages on campuses and in communities, and train young people to fight for youth voting rights and the policies they care about. We design youth-centered, data-driven civic action projects that remove barriers to voting and push decision makers to give young people a seat at the table.

The Civic Influencers’ Credo 

I am concerned about issues that impact my people, community, and land. I am concerned about the state of democracy and want to be part of a national movement that is not afraid to stand up for our youth voting rights and lift up our voices. I want to grow and learn. I want to change the systems that have intentionally left people out of the democratic process. I am dedicated to putting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at the forefront of my work. I understand that the time to act is now.

Responsibilities:

Participate in our National Civic Influencers Orientation.  Support Civic Influencers through video testimonials and stories about why civic engagement is important. Participate in monthly state-specific trainings, a national Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training and other trainings as determined. Support Civic Influencers by participating in Civic Influencers Action Days either by signal boosting or creating unique engagements for your community or campus. Create a Civic Influencers Action Plan in conjunction with your Statewide Organizer(s) for how you will organize in your community and on campus, which includes the following:  A minimum of three (3) activities to strengthen and protect youth voting rights;  A systemic change project;  A data-driven survey project that reports on current youth voting barriers and other democracy issues either in your community or on campus;   A record of your activities in the Civic Influencers internal Activity Tracker; and Complete Tableau’s Data Literacy for All eLearning track composed of 7 modules (~5 hours of training) completed at your own pace (this completes the Bronze-level training).
