As a dispatch volunteer you work directly in the hub of our operation team that touches base with drivers, voters and assures they get their connections, to the polls, and returned safely.
This dispatch volunteer opportunity serves voters via phone and text and in between election research to find polling locations, and prepare the system to run smoothly is needed.
Working year round this is one of our largest dispatch operation teams and we fill volunteer positions monthly here. You can work as little or as often as you like. During large elections this is a fast paced, but organized environment.
The dispatch volunteer opportunity office the behind the scenes but integral way to service our voters who are needing rides and assuring their trained drivers get to them on, time, and they have what they need for a successful voting experience.
Their is an opportunity to put computer skills to use in this role but it is not needed.
One role is to help on the team that manages our driver/rider dashboard system to coordinate all rides. We need both technical personnel (crossing over with IT Support Team) for direct operations, as well as phone callers/researchers to follow up on canceled rides and to complete special projects like connecting voters with rides in distant, far-flung locations.
