Get involved in politics and grassroots organizing! HeadCount works with hundreds of artists to register voters and raise social consciousness. We're at concerts, festivals, and cultural events around the country registering voters and promoting democracy.
What's it like to volunteer with HeadCount?
In short, you'll help us register voters and then you'll get to see the show for free! The main responsibility of a HeadCount volunteer is to approach people and ask “Are you registered to vote at your current address?” and then assist them as they complete a voter registration form. You need to be outgoing, a good communicator, and a true believer in democracy. You also need to work hard – volunteering is fun but it definitely requires high-energy and a can-do attitude. You’ll engage in this activity from the time the doors open to when the headlining act starts playing, and also be working set-break. In addition, you will participate in a training, plus set-up and take-down of the HeadCount table.
