Girls for Gender Equity: Get Trained to Be a Poll Worker!

The following announcement was submitted by Girls for Gender Equity (GGE). 

GGE is proud to partner with the New York City Council to support the participation of young people in New York City’s Participatory Budgeting (PB) process! PB is a process whereby New Yorkers ages 11 and up can vote on how their city council members spend up to $1 million in public funding in their districts. 

PB is one way for the public - regardless of immigration status - to participate in the city budget. Thirty-one members of the New York City Council are participating in PB this year. Find out if your elected representative is participating here. Vote week is March 30 to April 7. 

Get Involved: Poll Worker Trainings 

Poll worker trainings are two-hour trainings on how to best assist during vote week at polling sites throughout the city. Poll workers can be as young as 11-years-old and volunteer regardless of immigration status. No sign up is needed but you must attend one of the trainings below in order to volunteer to be a poll worker for this PB cycle. 

Being a poll worker is a way to contribute to your community through support and assistance where you are needed and wanted.

Here are the training dates, times and locations.
