★ Pick a role

Four ways to help.

Each role comes with paid training, scheduling flexibility, and the company of two thousand neighbors who decided this election matters. Some roles are remote, some are not. All four are needed.

Remote OK · Tue & Thu eves

Call from our HQ war room or from your couch. We use a predictive dialer with an integrated script, so you only talk to people who pick up. Pizza on Tuesdays.

  • Tuesday & Thursday shifts, 5:30–8:30 p.m.
  • Fully remote option — laptop and headset required
  • Three call types: persuasion, GOTV, volunteer recruitment
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) calls available

★ Volunteer FAQ

Common questions.

I've never volunteered for a campaign. Will I be useless?

No. We train every volunteer for 30 minutes before their first shift, and you will always be paired with an experienced canvasser or phone-banker for your first time out. Honestly, the people who do best on day one are the people who have never done it before — they sound like neighbors, not professionals, which is the point.

How much time does it take?

The minimum useful shift is two hours. Most volunteers do one or two shifts per week. Some captains and field organizers put in 20+ hours per week — but that is voluntary and self-paced. Show up when you can.

Do you need volunteers who don't live in Riverbend?

Yes — for phone banks, data entry, and remote work. Door-knocking is reserved for Riverbend residents (it is more effective and more legal). If you're outside city limits, sign up anyway and we'll match you to a remote shift.

Are volunteers paid?

No, this is volunteer work. We do provide food at every shift, paid parking at HQ, and a $15/shift transit voucher for volunteers without cars. The campaign organizers are paid; the canvassers, phone bankers, and hosts are not.

I have a disability or accessibility need. Can I still help?

Absolutely. We have remote phone banking, captioned video shifts, accessible HQ work spaces, and host meetings in accessible homes. Tell us what you need on the signup form or email access@yourbusiness.com and we will accommodate. Marisol is a former special-education advocate.

I'm under 18. Can I help?

Yes! We have a robust youth program for ages 14–17 with parental sign-off. Youth volunteers run a separate phone-bank program with peer trainers, attend school-based registration drives, and serve on the campaign's Youth Advisory Council. Email youth@yourbusiness.com.
