Campaign Workers

There are many ways to gain experience as a campaign worker. You might help one of your friends run for student council, or even run for office yourself. You might also consider volunteering at the campaign office of a candidate who is running for local, state, or national office. Good workers are always needed to answer phones, prepare mailings, or perform general clerical duties. You may consider joining the local youth chapters of the political party of your choice. Contact the Democratic or Republican National Committees for more information. You might also consider learning more about the Green Party, which has a platform focusing on environmentalism, nonviolence, and social justice. Another political party in the United States is the Libertarian party, with a platform emphasizing civil liberties, free markets with little or no government involvement, and a noninterventionist foreign policy.
