VOLUNTEER TRAINING
The world isn’t business as usual, and neither are our volunteer trainings. We’ve reorganized our training sessions into three touchpoints to stay informed about Fieldworks trips, get regular updates from our team, and learn how to engage with voters.
We don’t just get ready. We stay ready.
Volunteer Training 102: Engaging with Voters
Tips and tricks on how to talk to voters at the doors.
Volunteer Training 103: Traveling with CP
Prepare yourself for doorknocking trips and shifts.
Volunteer Training 101: Action Call
New to Common Power? Here’s what we do and how we do it.
VOLUNTEER TRAINING 101: ACTION CALL
New and returning (after a while) volunteers learn about how we do FIeldwork at CP. We introduce our values and Fieldwork principles, how to navigate our door-knocking opportunities in the current political landscape, and ways to plug into our actions.
Tuesdays at 5pm PST over Zoom
VOLUNTEER TRAINING 102: ENGAGING WITH VOTERS
Need some practice on what to say to voters? We’ll go over different types of voter conversations, engagement techniques, and scenarios that we hope will empower you to knock doors and feel confident to speak to voters this year.
This is a space to share challenges, solutions, and strategies to talk to voters in all our actions.
Now occurring once a month at 5pm PST over Zoom.
VOLUNTEER TRAINING 103: TRAVELING WITH CP
General Elections, Special Elections, Ballot curing, Runoffs, and Primaries, we’ll doorknock for it all! Join this training to prepare for being with CP on the ground doorknocking for voters.
Wednesdays at 5pm PST over Zoom
VOLUNTEER TRAINING LIBRARY
We have all of our major volunteer trainings recorded and reference documents for each training that applies. From phonebanking, voter engagement, to voter registration references, the Volunteer Training Library has training materials dating back to 2020.
