About WeVote

WeVote is a nonpartisan, volunteer-powered nonprofit using technology to help voters make informed decisions and participate in democracy more easily. We are a Fast Forward nonprofit technology grantee and a fully remote organization made up of 120+ volunteers across the U.S.

We build open-source tools used by millions of voters, and we do it with a distributed team of people who care deeply about impact, collaboration, and sustainable volunteering.

About This Volunteer Role

We are seeking a Volunteer Project Manager for our Human Resources team to help keep projects organized, timelines visible, and communication flowing without the pressure or expectations of a paid corporate role.

This role is intentionally scoped for sustainability , making it ideal for:

  • Early-to-mid career professionals

  • Career switchers building PM experience

  • HR professionals looking to add project management skills

  • Experienced professionals volunteering a few hours per week

  • Retired or semi-retired professionals who enjoy mentoring and structure

Time commitment: ~3–5 hours per week
Expected term: 3–9 months (flexible and extendable)

What You’ll Do (Realistic & Shared Ownership)

You will support , not single-handedly own, HR projects. Responsibilities include:

  • Facilitate one weekly check-in for the HR team (agenda provided)

  • Help track a small number of active HR projects and priorities

  • Learn our onboarding workflows and help document or improve them

  • Support communication between HR and partner teams (Recruiting, Internships, Marketing)

  • Gently follow up with volunteers on timelines and blockers

  • Help keep task boards, notes, or simple trackers up to date

  • Share brief project updates during meetings or via email

You are not expected to manage performance, enforce deadlines, or act as a people manager.

What We’re Looking For (Must-Haves)

  • Able to volunteer 3–5 hours per week

  • Comfortable organizing tasks, notes, or timelines

  • Clear and kind communicator in a remote environment

  • Interest in nonprofit work and strengthening American democracy

  • Willingness to work with and support other volunteers

  • Located in the U.S. with at least 1 hour/week overlapping with U.S. PT

Nice to Have (Not Required)

  • Exposure to project coordination, HR, or recruiting

  • Familiarity with Agile, OKRs, or task-tracking tools

  • Interest in mentoring or supporting newer volunteers

If you have more than 5 hours per week , there may be additional ways to contribute, but this role is intentionally scoped to avoid burnout.

What You’ll Gain

  • Hands-on project management experience in a national nonprofit

  • Resume-worthy work you can confidently speak about

  • Experience collaborating with a fully remote, mission-driven team

  • Exposure to nonprofit operations, HR, and recruiting workflows

  • References and networking with professionals across the U.S.
