About the Race

At an estimated 766,000 registered voters enrolled in colleges and universities across the state, Gen-Z students have the power to determine the outcomes of these elections--but only if we get organized now.

And while young Americans do believe they have the power to change the country, just 2 in 5 say they feel well-qualified to participate in politics. Most young Americans do not believe they have been adequately prepared to understand the impact of their vote, or even how to cast it. That uncertainty depresses turnout: in 2022, just under 1 in 4 young voters cast a ballot. Young people are not apathetic–we are failing to adequately prepare and engage them.

Building on work started during the 2023 State Supreme Court Election and in the 2024 Presidential election, we’re building a scrappy and innovative team that will organize and inspire thousands of college students to vote in the upcoming November elections, including the PA Supreme Court Election.

What Will You Do?

The Deputy Operations Director will be responsible for managing the operations and logistics of Project 26’s 2025 campaign.

• Managing payroll processing, employee benefits, and reconciling benefit expenses

• Assisting with recordkeeping of revenue and expenses for compliance reporting purposes

• Ensure logistical support for an expansive organizing program, including working with vendors, ordering merchandise and materials, completing regular supply audits, and coordinating travel logistics, etc.

• All other duties as assigned

Who Are You?
