If you’re interested in getting more involved with VoteRiders, becoming a Voter ID Assistance Volunteer is a great way to help voters one-on-one. Some volunteers help voters track down underlying documents like birth certificates, while others, like Iris, help them at the DMV.
We’re holding a Voter ID Assistance Volunteer training tomorrow night, if you want to learn more.
If you can’t make this month’s event, we’ve already got another one on the books for March 26.
Or, you can sign up to be a VoteRiders volunteer and we’ll be sure to keep you posted on all the upcoming volunteer opportunities like textbanks, letter writing parties, and in-person opportunities.
As for Iris, she finds her volunteer work with VoteRiders very rewarding: “Do it. Absolutely. Even if you don’t know what you’re doing — I don’t quite know what I’m doing — do it, step out of your comfort zone, get involved. I was nervous the first time and it helped so much that I got on-the-spot training. A new volunteer is not just going to be set out there to flounder. There is a lot of support.”
Be sure to read more about Iris’ experience as a VoteRiders volunteer.
Sincerely,
Olivia Julien
Deputy Director of Voter ID Assistance
