Training Coordinator
The Training Coordinator reports to the State Field Director and supports staff to train volunteers to meet campaign objectives.
Once again, politicians are trying to choose their voters. On March 24, 2021, extreme Republicans in the Michigan Senate introduced a package of anti-voter bills that will disproportionately impact voters of color and young voters by adding restrictions on absentee voting and drop boxes. This is not what Michiganders want nor deserve; 67% of Michigan voters supported expanding voting access in Michigan by passing the Promote the Vote Amendment in 2018. Voters Not Politicians is mobilizing a massive volunteer army to launch a campaign to protect our Freedom to Vote. We will educate and inspire voters to oppose this anti-voter effort. Because voters should choose our politicians, not the other way around.
The Training Coordinator will:
- Help choose an appropriate online learning platform for the campaign
- Develop an effective and engaging online training program for field leaders and volunteers on a tight timeline (including video and interactive elements)

- Support the State Field Director and Regional Organizers to securely deliver this training to volunteers
- Respond to feedback to continuously improve the campaign training program
- Track and report training completion
- Directly support volunteers who have varying comfort levels with technology
- Support the State Field Director and Regional Organizers, and volunteer field leaders to ensure smooth training implementation
- Take on other tasks to support the field team as time permits
