Obama’s Campaign for Change is looking for Student Organizers in Minnesota!

Student Organizers will work with campaign staffers to organize their schools by registering new voters, identifying Obama supporters, and turning them out to vote on November 4, 2008.

It’s the opportunity of a lifetime for both high school and college-age students alike! And no previous campaign experience is necessary.

Student Organizers will be required to work at least 15 hours per week at their school or at a local campaign office. The Campaign for Change will work with high schools, colleges, and universities to help students get academic credit for all Student Organizer internships. All internships are unpaid.

With questions contact Andrew Zucker, azucker[at]mnforchange.com.

The Obama campaign is inviting you to help them celebrate the opening of their general election office in Minneapolis:

This Saturday July 19th, we will be opening our Minneapolis Campaign for Change office. We are having an open house at 10:00 am followed by a door knock in the area. This will be a great chance for you to see our new office, meet the staff, get in touch with other student activists and find out how you can become a part of the campaign. Keith Ellison and R.T. Rybak will be there to get us fired up with our plans for the state. We will be located at 514 East Hennepin Avenue from now until the election and we welcome you to stop by.

Interested in helping to get out the vote this fall and make Barack Obama our 44th President? Join our Facebook group and e-mail obama[at]umn.edu in order to stay updated on volunteer opportunities and meeting times this summer and fall. Be sure to invite your friends at the U to the Facebook group as well, it will be great to show how much support Barack has at the U and we will need all the help we can get on campus this fall.
