Non-partisan opportunities to participate in election efforts at Yale and beyond

Join the Student group

Yale Democracy Project

Yale Democracy Project is a non-partisan, student-led organization that promotes civic engagement on campus by helping students vote, encouraging civic dialogue, and making Yale an easy place to join the world of politics. We build a community where students inspire each other to engage with the issues they care about by participating in our democracy, both in the classroom and at the polls.

Become a Poll Worker

The State of Connecticut is looking for poll workers. For more information on volunteering see the State of Connecticut website.

FWS funds from being used, among other things, to employ students whose work “involves any partisan or nonpartisan political activity” is prohibited. Jobs involving partisan or nonpartisan voter registration, voter assistance at a polling place or through a voter hotline, or serving as a poll worker—whether this takes place on or off campus—involve political activity because these activities support the process of voting which is a quintessential political activity whereby voters formally support partisan or nonpartisan political candidates by casting ballots.
