Immediate Opportunity to Make a Difference

The Community Voters Project is immediately hiring Citizen Outreach Directors to run non-partisan grassroots voter registration offices through October 2012. Help make a change by helping register African American voters. Here in Wisconsin an estimated 80,000, or 41%, of eligible African Americans are not registered to vote, and registering to vote is the first step in active participation in our democracy. For more information, contact Recruitment Director Jeff Sprague at (303) 623-4900 ext 201 or jsprague@workforprogress.org.
