Job Summary:

African Communities Together (ACT) is seeking a Voter Engagement Specialist to join our team for a 9-week nonpartisan door-to-door field campaign. The successful candidate will engage with African voters, increase voter turnout, and raise awareness of issues impacting Virginia's African community.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Engage in respectful in-person conversations with African voters in our priority districts.
  • Maintain weekly canvass and voter engagement goals.
  • Provide nonpartisan information regarding voter readiness, ballot access, ways to vote, rides to the polls, and other important voter information.
  • Verify African voter information and turn out eligible voters via either: early in-person voting, vote by mail, or on Election Day.
  • Commute daily to ACT's priority districts and assigned turf.
  • Engage and recruit African voters to become involved in ACT's voter engagement and mobilization efforts.

  • Fluency in Amharic, Arabic, French, or other African languages is a plus.
  • Strong communication, organizational, and social skills.
  • Reliable transportation and valid driver's license (some exceptions permitted).
  • Comfortable using technology (phones, tablets, virtual platforms).
  • Must be reliable and timely throughout the duration of the campaign.
  • Ability to walk for extended distances.
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy in data entry.
  • Cultural competence and significant experience with African and African immigrant communities or within the social justice sector.
  • Comfortable using a script and speaking with persons of different African cultures and ethnic backgrounds.

Equal Opportunity Employer: ACT is an affirmative action employer and strongly supports the social goals of affirmative action. We therefore make special efforts to recruit individuals from groups that are historically under-represented in professional environments, or that suffer from broader societal discrimination.
