2026 Campus Fellow

What Will You Do?

Essential duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Engage students to promote civic engagement and emphasize the importance of their vote.
Fellows will talk directly to young people through: crowd/high-traffic canvassing, tabling, door-to-door canvassing (in dorms and off-campus), class/student club visits, and relational organizing.
Facilitate conversations that encourage students to reflect on key issues (e.g., education, climate, jobs) and how elections directly impact their lives.
Register students to vote.
Plan and run engaging, student-centered events.
Assist with registering P26 as an approved student organization on campus (if not already established).
Coordinate logistics for campus organizing activities, including tabling, event space, and recurring meeting reservations.
Leverage campus networks (friends, clubs, classes, professors, etc.) to collaborate on events, voter registration drives, and other opportunities.
Support with data entry (as needed).

Who Are You?

You’re a strong fit if you:

Are excited and eager to talk with lots of young people (and are especially comfortable cold-approaching strangers).
Have a passion for civic engagement and inspiring young people to participate in the political process.
Are creative and scrappy in reaching your peers, willing to try new approaches even when untested.
Thrive in fast-changing environments and know how to stay focused even when circumstances feel uncertain.

Are enrolled at the Lackawanna College. Non-students can apply to be a full-time Campus Organizer.
