What are the volunteer roles?
As with any large endeavor, we are always looking for engaged volunteers -- from as little as one hour a week to as many as you can spare! :) And we have many different things to do to maximize your talents and fulfillment.
Once you sign up to volunteer in a particular area, our Program and/or Regional Directors will reach out to you to get you started.
Our roles include:
Phone and Text Banking: Contacting South Asians by phone or text to educate them on voting, to promote candidates or ballot measures, and build the South Asian progressive community.
SAAVE Ambassador: Leverage your personal South Asian network to get at least 25 of your friends and relatives to be engaged voters.
Voter Registration: Organize, promote and staff in-person (when permitted) and virtual voter registration events.
Youth Engagement: Empower youth by helping them engage in the political process.
Social Media Ambassador: Build the South Asian community by communicating vital issues and our message on Social Media channels.
Community Outreach: Liaise across South Asian diaspora to help build bridges and develop cohesive community.
Congressional District Organizer: Liaise with Congressional District staff to organize events.
Public Policy Team (specialization required; by Appointment by the Board): Develop policy positions and endorsement recommendations for adoption by SAAVE.
Fundraising: Raise money to support SAAVE's efforts in voter engagement, education and empowerment!
