Moraph for Good / Volunteer / Opportunities / Voice instructor
Opportunity · Open to everyone
Voice instructor.
Teach free, strictly nonpartisan Voice sessions on how local government works, public meetings and comment, records requests and serving your community.
What you do
- Teach the Voice modules a host has chosen, prepared for the place you teach in
- Explain who decides what locally, how an agenda and public comment work, and how to make a records request
- Point people to their official election office and to the public bodies that decide
- Tell the Moraph lead which questions came up, so the materials improve
What you need
- Experience of how local government works: for example local government, clerks’ offices, libraries or civics teaching
- Comfort explaining things plainly to a room, or to a group online
- You are not a current candidate, party official or member of campaign staff, and you will keep every session strictly nonpartisan
What you won’t do
- Take a side on parties, candidates, ballot questions or campaigns, or let a session be used for one
- Run voter registration (we point people to their official election office)
- Collect the names or contact details of the people who attend
- Where
- In person at the host’s venue, or online on an account the host or Moraph manages.
- Checks
- An identity check, references, and a background check where local law allows for roles with young people or adults at risk. Checks are finished before your first session.
- Training
- The short training on the rules every volunteer takes, then a walk-through of the modules you will teach with the Moraph lead for the series.
- Time
- You tell us what you can give. A series is planned in writing with the host, so you know the dates before you agree to it.
- Open to
- Moraph colleagues and vetted members of the public, 18 or over, in the ten countries where Moraph has an office.
The rules apply to every role. Nothing to sell, strictly nonpartisan, explain never advise, no personal details, safeguarding and conflicts. The rules in full.
