Mobilizing for Change

As Change Agents we have an opportunity to empower San Diego's diverse people and organizations to engage more effectively in our communities and in the civic process. Volunteers are the heart of Alliance San Diego and an essential part of our work to build collective power to create an inclusive democracy for all! Check out our current volunteer opportunities and sign up to volunteer below.

***All new volunteers must attend an initial orientation with our Advancement Manager, Mackenzie Martinez. After you complete the volunteer interest form, we will reach out to confirm which orientation date you will attend. Feel free to contact her with any questions or concerns.

Community Outreach

Mobilize voters with our Civic Engagement Team by offering useful resources on elections to community members. We need motivated and personable volunteers to canvass our communities and call neighbors to help turn out the vote for the upcoming November elections.
