There are many ways to contribute, whether you have an hour a week or much more. Here are the areas where help is most useful.
Take ownership of the campaign in your school district. District leaders organize local outreach, identify school board contacts, coordinate with other volunteers, and serve as the main point of contact for advocates in their area. This is the highest-impact role available.
Help research your district's current policies, identify board members, draft letters, prepare public comment remarks, or write summaries of the research for local audiences.
Help create flyers, social media graphics, infographics, and visual materials that make the campaign's message clear and shareable. Strong visuals help advocacy materials travel further and land with more impact.
Help amplify the message on social media, draft posts, create shareable content, or manage online community spaces. Clear communication helps build the broad public support that school boards respond to.
Back an existing campaign without taking on a leadership role. Supporters attend school board meetings, sign on to letters, share campaign materials, and add their voice when it counts. Every campaign needs more people willing to show up.
Help maintain and improve this site, fix content, add pages, or build out tools that make it easier for advocates to find what they need. Web skills of any level are welcome — from writing copy to front-end development.
