Democracy Fellows help their peers register and vote and engage in dialogue and organizing activities around democracy and voting rights legislation on their campuses. This semester-long fellowship is offered by Campus Vote Project, which for 14 years has been dedicated to helping students gain access to the ballot and increasing youth voter turnout. Democracy Fellows are integral to our mission of engaging and empowering student voters at institutions of higher education across 14 states:
Fellows receive a stipend, as well as mentoring, training, and support throughout the year. It’s a great way to gain hands-on experience in leadership, community organizing, public speaking, policy, and political processes, and many of our Fellows have gone on to run for office, earn graduate degrees, and work for the federal government, just to name a few.
The Fall Fellowship will run from August 31 to December 4th. Fellows are expected to carry out nonpartisan voter engagement activities on their campus. CVP is proud to support the program by conducting regular check-ins with fellows and administrator and faculty partners. CVP also produces student voting guides, voting information posters, and draft email, social media, and website content that can be used by fellows during the program.
We are seeking students who are self starters, democratically engaged, politically interested & willing to help peers register to vote and engage in dialogue around democracy.
