Chester, Cheshire, United Kingdom Newpaproject Full time
Full Time – Multiple Regions (including Lehigh Vally and Chester/Delaware Counties) Reports to the Regional Organizing Director About the New Pennsylvania Project

The New Pennsylvania Project (NPP) was established in May 2021 modeled by the success of
the New Georgia Project. NPP is a voting rights organization with a year-round primary focus on
voter registration, civic education, and mobilization. NPP centers historically disenfranchised and
often neglected Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, immigrant communities, and the
youth in our work. Through civic engagement, we ensure all eligible voters feel compelled to
exercise their freedom to vote in the Commonwealth.

The Role: Community Engagement Associate

The New Pennsylvania Project seeks passionate, energetic, and motivated professionals that
will join our ground team who are responsible for voter education and engagement in diverse
communities throughout Pennsylvania. Community Engagement Associates (CEA) are one of
the most critical positions, as our organization was built on direct voter contact. This position will
work within a fast-paced and flexible organizing and paid canvassing program. CEAs should be
well-organized and enjoy working independently and meeting new people, as must be
passionate about civic education and participation.

and weekends.

  • Maintain familiarity with (and adhere to) relevant law regarding voter registration

    election, and emphasizing the importance of each person's vote
  • Perform quality checks and report data on registrations each day
