Change.org

GovTech & Civic Tech

Change.org is the world’s largest tech platform for people-powered, social change. More than half a billion people across more than 196 countries use our technology-driven petition and campaign tools to speak up on issues they’re passionate about. Approximately 70,000 petitions are created and supported on our platform every month, with 1.7 million new people joining our global network of users every week. People on Change.org have powered tens of thousands of campaign victories worldwide, and more are winning every week. Every day, our users collaborate to organize on local, national and global issues; hold corporations to account; and demand action from decision makers at the highest levels of government and business. Our platform is free to use, open to all, and completely independent because it’s funded by the people who use it. Our independence makes us a trusted resource for decision makers, who turn to the platform to hear from and respond to the communities they represent. The nonprofit Change.org Foundation oversees both the Change.org Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), a wholly owned corporate subsidiary focused on technology, innovation and growth; and the Change.org charitable programs focused on empowering the most marginalized people and communities globally. This hybrid structure of two mutually supporting organizations enables us to combine the ambition and growth trajectory of a tech company with the mission-focused stewardship of a nonprofit. As an organization, Change.org is committed to providing the tools, resources and support needed to empower anyone, anywhere to create the change they want to see. We love serving our incredible users, and we love our staff too. We show it with competitive salaries, unlimited vacation, 18 weeks of parental leave, and a high impact, low-ego team that can’t wait to learn from you and teach you what they know.

Job description

About the role

We're looking for a Campus Ambassador to help students on campus learn who is on their November ballot. Change.org runs Change.vote, a ballot guide that shows voters the candidates on their ballot, along with their policy positions and endorsements. Your job is to make sure students on your campus know it exists and use it before Election Day, November 3, 2026.

You'll reach students through the channels that already work on your campus, including but not limited to clubs, campus-wide communications, tabling, relational organizing (talking to your own networks); whatever gets results where you are. We won’t prescribe one playbook; we're giving you a goal and will empower you to get there.

Goals: Become the outreach manager for Change.vote on your campus

  • Reach as many of your fellow students as you can before Election Day

  • Create and recruit others for user-generated content on Change.vote and its social platforms

  • Give feedback to Change.vote staff about what’s working on your campus

What you'll do

  • Build relationships with student clubs, orgs, and campus communications channels to spread the word about Change.vote

  • Table at high-traffic spots (dining halls, quads, campus events) to talk with students directly

  • Run relational organizing, asking students to bring their own friends and networks into the conversation

  • Track your outreach pitches and results and report back so we can help you troubleshoot what's working and what isn't

  • Adapt your approach as you learn what actually lands on your campus

Commitment

Period

Hours | week

September 21 - Oct 4 | 5 hours

October 5 – November 3 | 10-12 hours

We expect roughly 55 hours total over the two months, with flexibility in the hours to fit in your class schedule and other commitments.

What we provide

  • Training and ongoing coaching on tactics, messaging, and troubleshooting

    • You’ll be part of a cohort of Change.vote campus ambassadors across our two states

  • Materials, talking points, and campus-vote tools you can adapt to what works locally

  • A direct line to our team for support, not a script to follow blindly

Who this is for

This is a great fit if you want real civic engagement experience like organizing, communications, relationship-building, without working for a candidate or campaign. It's nonpartisan work: you're helping students find accurate information about their ballot, not telling them how to vote.

We're looking for someone who:

  • Is plugged into their campus community (or eager to get plugged in)

  • Is comfortable talking to strangers and building relationships

  • Can work independently and adapt tactics without needing a rigid script

  • Cares about voter turnout and access to information, regardless of party

Compensation

$1500 Stipend paid in two installments. Cost coverage for printed materials or tabling fees associated with outreach.
