HeadCount is a nonpartisan voter registration organization that works with musicians such as Dave Matthews Band, Crosby Still & Nash, and members of the Grateful Dead and Phish. HeadCount will be running voter registration booths at up to 1,000 concerts nationwide in 2008, and we are looking for volunteers and leadership candidates to assist with these efforts.

HeadCount is also looking to fill some key positions in its central leadership, including a director of digital media, an outreach director and a graphic designer (who would assist our art director).

HeadCount volunteers will be expected to learn proper procedures for registering voters and will be asked to proactively seek out unregistered voters at concerts. A Headcount volunteer should be a responsible, well-spoken individual who is not shy about approaching strangers. Volunteer shifts generally begin when or before the concert doors open, so availability in early evening hours is required. Positions are also available for Team Leaders who organize and oversee this activity on site, and for Regional Coordinators that manage 6-8 team leaders in a geographical region. Performance-based stipends of up to $1,000 will accompany some positions. Volunteers must complete a training session before they can begin the volunteer work.
