Volunteering for a political campaign has many benefits, from gaining new skills to making connections with other highly motivated people. Working with political campaigns also lets you understand the political sphere. If you’re interested in working with policy, law, government, or really any other government-related field, volunteering for a political campaign is an excellent way to get the hands-on experience you will need.

Although the past Presidential election has come and gone, it helped hundreds of thousands of Americans realize they needed to get more involved to make sure their voices are heard in Government. Now, more than ever, local elections are in need of awesome volunteers like you.

While volunteering to help local campaigns may seem less glamorous than volunteering for national elections, the reverse can be true. Volunteers who work with local elections often have the benefit of seeing politics in their community and usually get to know the local candidates that they are volunteering with.
