The Progressive Turnout Project (PTP) is excited to invite applications for the role of Community Engagement Coordinator as part of the Shape Up The Vote initiative. This dynamic campaign leverages barbershops and salons to energize voter turnout, transforming them into vital engagement hubs within their communities.

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and encourage especially those from underrepresented communities (including people of color, Black women, and allies) to apply. If you are interested in this opportunity but are unsure about meeting all qualifications, we encourage you to submit your application.
