The Campaign Finance Board is a nonpartisan, independent city agency that empowers New Yorkers to have a greater impact on their elections. Our mission is to make local democracy more open, transparent, and equitable by removing barriers to participation. We make it easier for New Yorkers to vote, meaningfully support candidates for city office, and run for office themselves. NYC Votes, our voter engagement initiative, meets people where they are to share trustworthy election information and help New Yorkers make a plan to vote.

We publish the citywide Voter Guide, which delivers information about candidates directly to voters’ doors. Our public matching funds program ensures small contributions can make a big difference, allowing regular people to run for office by relying on the support of other regular people, not just wealthy donors and special interests. And we lift the veil on how candidates raise and spend money, increasing transparency and accountability in local government.

We believe that when every New Yorker is empowered to participate meaningfully in elections, candidates will better reflect the communities they serve, elected leaders will be more accountable to the public, and New Yorkers will have a democracy they can truly trust.

The Public Affairs division promotes the agency’s key role in equipping all candidates and voters to power a fairer and more open democracy in New York City. We engage New Yorkers, inform them about elections, and boost their civic participation in the democratic process. Within Public Affairs, the Partnerships and Outreach unit works to build partnerships across the city to disseminate voting information, deliver accessible voter education, and conduct direct to voter outreach.

The intention of this team’s work is to create pathways for all New Yorkers to gain trustworthy and accessible information and education around voting and democracy. Only then can we authentically increase civic participation and mobilize our communities beyond just voting.

We are seeking two Engagement Coordinators to join the Neighborhoods Team, which is focused on building trusting relationships with community partners and delivering in-language voter education to voters that speak a language other than English (LOTE) in low voter turnout neighborhoods. The Neighborhoods Team works with community-based organizations, faith-based institutions, libraries, businesses, local groups, and other community partners to disseminate key election information and offer educational workshops covering topics such as Why Vote, How to Vote, Voting Rights, Voter Protections, and more.

The Engagement Coordinators will play a critical role in enhancing our civic engagement education and services for community-based organizations in the NYC Votes priority neighborhoods of South Bronx, North & Central Queens, or East New York. Each Coordinator will take leadership over the implementation of education and engagement strategy in one of these neighborhoods. The role will also support the Partnerships and Outreach team in building and maintaining strong internal systems to organize and track partnership development.

The Engagement Coordinator will work closely with the Neighborhoods Team to identify and forge relationships with key stakeholders. They will be tasked with understanding, tracking, and meeting community needs through the provision of resources and materials, education delivery, event execution, among other engagement and education approaches. The Engagement Coordinators will also work closely with Public Affairs staff to assist in the overall development of resources and materials and coordination of services.

We are looking for someone energized about on-the-ground community engagement with strong relationship and trust‑building skills, project management, and organizational…
