Do you want to impact the next election by helping your community? NYCDC is looking for well-organized and energetic volunteers for its innovative voter engagement work to increase turnout in neighborhoods, with a focus on underrepresented immigrant communities. The position’s primary function is to conduct outreach in Flatbush, East Flatbush, Canarsie, and Queens Village through in-person door knocking and phone banking. This is a great opportunity for volunteers to participate in non-partisan voter engagement work for the upcoming elections season. You will also build community leadership skills while interacting with local immigrant communities.

Since inception NYCDC and HABNET have been helping United States residents become citizens through its Civic Education Program and Citizenship Application Assistance Workshops.

Residents who currently receive MedicAid may be eligible to apply for a fee waiver. Language interpretation may be provided upon request.
