About HeadCount: 

HeadCount is a non-partisan organization that uses the power of music and popular culture to register voters and promote participation in Democracy. We reach young people where they already are to inform and empower. Our goal is long-term, lasting change where participation in Democracy is ingrained in youth culture and high voter turnout is the norm, no matter what's on the ballot.  Since 2004, we’ve registered over one million voters through our work with musicians like Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, Lizzo, Dead & Co, Billie Eilish and Alicia Keys; organizations such as Global Citizen; events including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Pride festivals and RuPaul’s DragCon; plus partnerships with brands like Spotify, Major League Baseball and American Eagle. Our award-winning online campaigns have been seen over a billion times, while our 60,000 volunteers can be seen at more than 1,500 live events each year. We reach young people where they already are – at concerts and online – to inform and empower.

Key experience includes community organizing, voter outreach and advocating for social justice. Prior experience in voter registration, get-out-the-vote (GOTV) efforts, community engagement and digital outreach are a plus.

• Set up voter registration drives at HeadCount NYC-based community events and support HeadCount’s overall community engagement efforts
  • Lead outreach that empowers marginalized communities through voting and civic engagement
  • Coordinate multiple events per week after initial training
  • Research and identify voter registration opportunities, build relationships with diverse organizations, reach out to event organizers to offer our services
  • Liaise with HeadCount’s coalition partners and other organizations to set up and manage events, coordinate volunteers, and share best practices
  • Lead trainings and engage coalition partners as needed
• Lead voter registration drives at events, sometimes with support of volunteers and sometimes individually
• Work with HeadCount staff to document best practices for community engagement
• Consult with HeadCount team on communications, branding and messaging

Goals for the Field Fellow:

• Plan and lead events that help to empower marginalized communities and build a truly inclusive democracy.

While performing the responsibilities of the job, the employee is required to exchange accurate information, detect/identify documents and the information contained in them, move between areas in and out of the office to complete their role. The employee may need to move various equipment including computers to their work location. Lift at least 40 lbs. HeadCount is a proud Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to embracing diversity and inclusion in our hiring practices. We celebrate all cultures, backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, and know that we are better together. 

We're accepting applications for Team Leaders in select cities.

HeadCount is adding Team Leaders all across the country. Team Leaders are the heart and soul of HeadCount and are the people most responsible for registering thousands of voters at concerts, festivals, and community events. They represent the organization any time a HeadCount-affiliated artist appears in the team’s metropolitan area. Within their metro, Team Leaders also work with venues, promoters, and community event organizers to identify the best local opportunities to register voters.

This means organizing and scheduling teams of volunteers (using HeadCount’s volunteer portal), training new volunteers and managing the process of setting up a voter registration table at an event. It also involves directly interfacing with staff at local concert venues and tour production crews from our affiliated bands.
Team Leaders also reach into their community to identify gaps in voter registration access and provide registration services. This could be at high schools, street fairs, or other relevant community events. The goal is for at least 25% of annual activations to come from community events.
Team Leaders must be reliable, professional, and good communicators. Most of all, they need to inspire volunteers to work together toward a common goal. If you love music and consider yourself a natural leader, this may be the position for you.
This is considered a volunteer position, but Team Leaders are eligible for a yearly performance-based stipend of up to $1,500.

Requirements

• Strong work ethic, maturity and sense of accountability
• Flexible schedule allowing you to be on site at concerts before doors open
• Natural leadership ability
• Commitment to following protocol
• Relevant leadership experience
