Duration: One weekend per month, for the school year.

TurnUp is hiring high school students for $100 to serve as campus voter registration

fellows. Fellows will perform a total of 2-4 hours of work over the course of 2 weeks to

help register students to vote on their campus.

This opportunity is fully remote and will engage students, either individually or on

teams, to register voters at their high school campus. The time commitment is flexible

and allows students to tailor their voter registration initiatives to the unique needs of

their schools. Each student/team is trained by experienced organizers on voter

registration, is sent all the materials they need, and is supervised throughout the

process. Students register their peers to vote and grow to become more capable and

responsible citizens.
