Volunteer Coordinator

About The Campaign Finance Board

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 engages New Yorkers, informs them about elections, and boosts their participation in the democratic process. We make election information accessible and relevant, increase engagement with underrepresented communities, and cultivate a team that reflects our core values of purpose, curiosity, creativity, and collaboration.

The division includes Marketing and Digital Communications, Partnerships and Outreach, Language Access, and Public Relations. Our division’s work includes publishing the citywide Voter Guide, running the official citywide Debates Program, and managing the voter engagement initiative, NYC Votes.

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. Through relationships with community-based organizations as well as on-the-ground voter outreach, this team creates pathways for all New Yorkers to gain trustworthy and accessible information and education around voting and democracy.

This role reports directly to the Senior Outreach Manager and is responsible for coordinating volunteers, managing relationships, and supporting community engagement efforts that strengthen voter participation across New York City. The Volunteer Coordinator supports the NYC Votes initiative by recruiting and training volunteers, organizing civic engagement activities, maintaining day-to-day volunteer operations, and ensuring accurate data and reporting practices that align with agency standards.

NYC Votes is an initiative of the New York City Campaign Finance Board (CFB), a nonpartisan, independent agency dedicated to informing New Yorkers about elections and expanding civic participation in the democratic process.

Under the NYC Votes initiative, you will help implement direct voter engagement activities in priority neighborhoods and among communities that have historically had lower voter participation due to structural barriers. Volunteers you coordinate may support voter registration drives, community events, partnerships with local organizations to distribute voting information, door-to-door or site-based canvassing, text banking, and other outreach efforts. Many of these activities will also highlight the benefits of the Matching Funds program, increasing awareness of the CFB’s broader work under its Charter Mandate and demonstrating how the agency strengthens democracy in NYC.

As part of the Outreach Team, your role will be to thoughtfully plan, design, and execute multi-modal volunteer-supported engagement efforts for all NYC elections typically beginning three to six months ahead of each election cycle. You will ensure volunteers are well-prepared, supported, and equipped to engage…
