Development Coordinator - Washington, United States - The Voter Participation Center

Description

About Us

The Voter Participation Center (VPC) is the nation's largest non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to registering and mobilizing voters from the New American Majority (NAM) - people of color, unmarried women, and young people - who make up the majority of the potential electorate, but have been historically underrepresented in political participation and power.

Using direct mail, digital and social media outreach, guided by rigorous data science and experimentation, and working closely with a multitude of partner organizations, VPC connects with millions of voters each year, building the foundation for a more representative democracy.

Over the past 20 years, VPC has helped more than 6.1 million people register to vote.

VPC is driven by a commitment to constant research, testing, experimentation and evaluation, and thus offers many of the most cost-effective, proven, high-impact programs in the civic engagement field.

The Center for Voter Information (CVI) is VPC's partner organization.

It is a separate but affiliated 501(c)4 non-profit that works to engage both the NAM and members of the broader electorate who share its values.

VPC-CVI does not sponsor work visas for potential or hired employees under any circumstances.
