Help power voter turnout in Montana’s tribal communities.

Groundswell Contact has partnered with Forward Montana, a non-profit civic engagement organization, to run a direct voter contact program across two distinct Native American communities in Montana’s 1st Congressional District: the Blackfeet Reservation and the CSKT/Flathead Reservation. We’re knocking doors and engaging at community sites to make sure residents know how, when, and where to vote - building toward a Get Out The Vote push as satellite voting locations open. As a Canvasser, you’ll be the face of this program - knocking on doors, having real conversations with your neighbors, and helping make sure eligible voters in your community have a plan to vote. You’ll work on a team led by an on-site Field Director(s), powered by Groundswell Contact, a progressive firm known for equity-centered, high-impact field organizing. Canvassers are W-2 (hourly), at-will employees who will be hired, managed and directly employed by Groundswell Contact, LLC.

Knock on assigned doors (turf) or engage residents at assigned public “hot-spot” areas as directed by your Team Lead, Canvass Director, or Lead Director

Use a memorized, provided script to have face-to-face conversations with residents about voting

Accurately record contact data, voting plan commitments, and survey responses using a simple mobile app (MiniVAN)
