Dear Reader,
In 2020, we began partnering with high school and college students to provide volunteer opportunities within Ballotpedia. We know that Ballotpedia is a trusted resource for students conducting research and writing papers, and during the pandemic, students sought virtual volunteer opportunities. This led to the creation of the Ballotpedia Fellows Program. This program offers students research and writing skills and inspires political engagement.
Since 2020, the program has welcomed over 240 students, enhancing their skills, confidence, and understanding of remote work.
Over the last three years, Ballotpedia Fellows have:
-
Researched and contacted more than 10,000 candidates
-
Researched contact information, campaign websites, and social media accounts for local candidates ensure that Ballotpedia is able to provide robust information to our readers.
-
Contributed over 12,000 hours.
With your support, we will continue to build a world where everyone has access to accurate information about politics, elections, and policy.
Best,
Leslie Graves
