We Power NYC is a campaign by young people for young people. We are looking for young New Yorkers ages 14-24 who are passionate about civic engagement, voting, and democracy to join our new 2020 We Power NYC Ambassador team! As we face a global pandemic, the integrity and accessibility of our elections are at stake. Now more than ever we must work together to educate and mobilize our communities about the importance of voting--especially at the local level.
The We Power NYC Ambassador Program is an online community of young people who care about our democracy. We Power NYC Ambassadors will help us distribute information about elections to young people across the city and help guide the NYC Votes Youth Coordinator in creating civic engagement materials that are relevant and engaging. For the 2020-2021 program we are going to select 20 members.
We Power NYC Ambassador requirements:
- Be a resident of New York City
- Be around 14-24 years old
- Use social media frequently
- Interest in local government and activism in any area
- Background in voting, government, etc. is not required
We Power NYC Ambassadors will be expected to:
- Attend and invite peers to training webinars
- Join bi-weekly We Power NYC ambassador Zoom check-in calls
- Share WePowerNYC posts about voting in NYC on social media
- Participate in weekly calls to action
For the 2020-2021 program we are going to select 20 members. Applications will be open from May 4-May 15. Announcements will be made May 18. Young New Yorkers of all experience levels are encouraged to apply. Please fill out the form below to receive an application via email.
