Volunteer with us!
Advancing Justice | AAJC and APIAVote run a hotline where voters can get answers to their questions about voting and receive assistance in nine Asian languages. Call 1-888-API-VOTE or 1-888-274-8683 for assistance. Assistance is available in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Urdu, Hindi, and Bengali.
We will be hosting the hotline leading up to Election Day and we are looking for bilingual volunteers in Cantonese and Mandarin, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Hindi/Urdu, and Bengali. We are asking volunteers to respond to live election questions in-language over the phone from Oct. 5, 2022 - Nov. 11, 2022.
No knowledge or experience in elections or voting is required! We will provide each volunteer with the necessary training.
