How you can become a Trusted Neighbor
Our trainings rest on a simple idea: trusted local voices make elections stronger. You don't need to be an expert. You don't need to take sides. You just need to care about voters in your neighborhoods having a real say in the outcome.
Trained Trusted Neighbor volunteers serve in four roles:
Poll Worker
Internal Communications Coordinator
Civic Narrator
