Campus Organizer, Distributed
About The Position
Project 26 Pennsylvania (P26 PA) is dedicated to mobilizing Pennsylvania students to counter the far-right's influence and build a future where Gen Z can lead and thrive. The 2026 elections in Pennsylvania are critical, with the potential to impact the balance of power in Congress and elect a Governor who will champion youth interests. With a significant number of registered Gen-Z voters, organized action is crucial. P26 PA has been building a strong team of youth advocates since 2023, fostering a community in politics through peer-to-peer outreach, and is now seeking a scrappy and innovative team to inspire thousands of PA youth to vote in the 2026 Primary and General Elections.
