About The Position

MF Professional Services, Inc. (MFPS) provides human resources, payroll, benefits administration, and operational support to mission-driven organizations. This position may perform services on behalf of MFPS clients, including Mi Familia Vota and Mi Familia en Acción. MFPS is seeking eight Canvassers to conduct door-to-door voter outreach in McAllen and surrounding Rio Grande Valley communities. Canvassers will travel through assigned neighborhoods, knock on doors, speak directly with community members, and provide approved information about voter registration, voter education, civic participation, and electoral engagement.
