The national Campus Election Engagement Project says campuses can continue non-partisan, student-led voter engagement efforts through the use of Work-Study positions.
CEEP is one of several national organizations (including Andrew Goodman Foundation and Campus Vote Project) that fund student voter engagement fellows, especially during election years. But given limited resources, CEEP and similar programs can support few such positions in off-years. According to CEEP, “One excellent alternative is supporting them through Work-Study, which lets them help engage your campus throughout the academic year.”
CEEP has produced a new guide for campuses about using Work-Study funds to support students leading voter engagement efforts.
