Campus Election
Engagement Project (CEEP) is a national, nonpartisan, project working
with colleges and universities to leverage their institutional resources and
networks to help their students register to vote, educate themselves on
candidates and issues, volunteer in campaigns of their choosing, and show up at
the polls. We’ve been working steadily to engage campuses since 2012. In 2018
we provided materials and resources to 439 college campuses with a total
enrollment of 4.7 million students.
For most of our target states, local state directors lead
nonpartisan electoral engagement outreach activities, primarily by building and
maintaining partnerships with faculty, staff, administrators and students on
college campuses. We also reach schools through partner organizations in states
where we don’t have directors and through individual schools that inquire about
getting CEEP support. We’ve developed useful resources for schools throughout
the country, from specific engagement approaches to our nonpartisan candidate
guides. Our At-Large Director would use these resources to guide schools in
states where we don’t have existing directors toward effective electoral
engagement.
Working across these states, the At-Large Director will
utilize email, webinars, and more limited direct phone outreach to larger
schools. The Director will help schools work with key allies such
as Campus Compact affiliates to gain access to the schools, and
connect them with individual interested campuses.
The ideal candidate will have a proven ability to foster
strong relationships and stay organized while working on long-term projects.
Because this is a new position, you’ll be committed both to developing new
ideas and promoting established models of engagement, while handling various
points of contact with administrators, faculty and student government
leaders.
This is a remote, contracted position with an hourly wage.
Being a motivated self-starter is a must. Candidates can be located anywhere in
the US. CEEP is a nonpartisan organization and candidates need to be committed
to nonpartisanship and to helping engage all students on the campuses they work
with.
Job Responsibilities:
The At-Large Director reports to the Associate and National
Directors and is responsible for the following:
- Recruit
and manage campus contacts, and work with them to assess the state of
their engagement and use our resources and approaches to help them
increase it.
- Respond
to interest from individual schools and reach out to major individual
schools in states where CEEP isn’t already working.
- Work
with partners like the Compact affiliates to find ways to bring
CEEP resources and approaches to their members. Reach out in collaboration
with affiliates to help major individual schools increase their engagement
efforts.
- Possibly
manage a limited number of student Fellows.
- Learn where
to refer schools on matters of state voter registration, absentee and
early voting.
- Manage
data collection of outreach, including contacts, resources distributed,
and support provided to schools.
- Participate
in weekly check-ins with the Director or Associate Director. Complete
internal projects and tasks.
- Stay
self-organized, submitting reports and projects in a timely manner.
Qualifications:
We’re seeking candidates who excel in relationship building,
are results-oriented, and have strong project management and self-management
skills. You should have:
- A
bachelor’s degree.
- A
track record of developing and maintaining strong working relationships
with diverse stakeholders.
- Strong
written and oral communication skills.
- Self-motivation,
persistence, and the ability to excel in a remote work environment.
- Comfort
in developing new initiatives and building some of the road as you travel.
You’ll be figuring out ways to engage large numbers of campuses that we
haven’t previously worked with, helping them use campus election
engagement resources honed through our nearly 10 years in the field.
- Experience
managing multiple projects.
- Commitment
to the CEEP mission and vision of nonpartisan engagement.
- Ability
to prioritize schools and levels of engagement with them. Knowledge of
voter outreach practices and experience in campaign or higher education
environments are both plusses but are not requirements.
