VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
You can change the world. By getting involved, you can make a tangible impact. Getting started is easy – your efforts can elect Democrats, influence policy, and inspire others to join the movement for a better future.
JOIN OUR TEAM OF PASSIONATE, DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS!
Eagle County Democrats is led entirely by volunteers. Our volunteers write letters and postcards, make thousands of phone calls and texts, rally for reproductive rights, attend marches, rallies, and PRIDE events, register new voters, canvass for candidates, fundraise, and host candidate forums all while making new friends. Local grassroots outreach remains the most effective way to engage voters, and we're grateful for your interest in volunteering. Join us and help us make sure Colorado stays blue!
JOIN A COMMITTEE!
The mission of all committees is to elect more Democrats, advocate for our values, and inspire greater affiliation. When appropriate, committees also coordinate with and leverage initiatives from the Colorado Democratic Party (CDP) to maximize their impact. We have six committees, and we hope you’ll support our work by joining one. To express your interest, please fill out the form at the bottom of this page and indicate the committee you’d like to join in the blank field provided.
COMMUNICATIONS AND SOCIAL MEDIA COMMITTEE
The Communication & Social Committee team focuses on developing a plan that informs and engages our community through both social and traditional media. This includes producing content that keeps our community informed and connected. You can help by recommending and facilitating website improvements, assisting with the production of the Eagle Dems newsletter (published twice a month, with increased frequency during election cycles), writing and distributing press releases, and managing posts on Facebook and Instagram.
EVENTS AND FUNDRAISING COMMITTE
The Events & Fundraising team is responsible for developing and managing virtual (and eventually in-person) educational presentations on a variety of issues. This includes identifying topics of interest, securing speakers, and creating a calendar of proposed events. Initiatives include a “Get to Know an Elected” series to educate the public on the roles and responsibilities of elected officials, a book club, and community service projects. The team also focuses on creating a comprehensive fundraising plan to support the work of the Eagle County Democrats. This involves organizing events such as the annual dinner in August/September, conducting direct mail campaigns, and exploring opportunities like establishing a “Century Club” for VIP donors.
Ways to contribute include planning fundraising activities, organizing educational programs, participating in community service projects, and helping with voter registration drives (VRDs).
RAPID RESPONSE TEAM
The Rapid Response team focuses on identifying timely call-to-actions and recruiting participants to engage with pressing issues. This includes finding individuals to attend local town council, county commissioner, and school board meetings to assess how we can support our elected officials effectively. Additionally, the team implements a Letters to the Editor program and drafts thought leadership pieces to amplify our values and priorities within the community.
STRATEGY, TECHNOLOGY & PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
The Strategy, Technology & Program Administration team focuses on planning and supporting campaign programs for the field team to execute. This includes writing scripts for phone banks, text banks, and canvassing, as well as creating materials for lit drops and establishing processes for letter and postcard-writing campaigns. The team sets measurable goals for campaign success, creates targeted voter lists in Votebuilder, and ensures that campaign results are entered into the system for data analysis and evaluation. Additionally, the team manages Votebuilder administration and training, provides precinct support, and assists Precinct Organizers with outreach efforts in their respective precincts. Through these efforts, the team ensures that campaigns are efficient, data-driven, and impactful.
FIELD AND VOLUNTEERS COMMITTEE
The Field & Volunteers team is dedicated to welcoming new volunteers and documenting their interests and skills to ensure effective engagement. The team conducts training sessions for both volunteers and precinct officers, preparing them to execute Voter Outreach campaigns once they are developed. Additionally, the team focuses on volunteer appreciation to recognize and retain those who contribute their time and effort.
Ways you can help include volunteering to register voters, canvass, make calls, and send texts. You can also send welcome notes to newly registered Democrats and thank-you notes to donors, ensuring everyone feels appreciated and connected to our shared mission.
LATINX OUTREACH SUBCOMMITTEE
The Latinx Outreach Subcommittee focuses on engaging and empowering Latinx communities through targeted initiatives. This includes organizing voter registration drives, ensuring all public-facing materials are translated for accessibility, and collaborating with local Latinx leaders and the Colorado Democratic Party Latinx Initiative. Together, they develop effective outreach and messaging strategies to build connections, increase civic participation, and amplify the voices of Latinx voters.
