RU Voting Ambassador Program

The Center for Youth Political Participation is recruiting students to be a part of the RU Voting Ambassador program to encourage student voter registration and mobilization in the 2022 General Election. A re-branded approach to our RU Voting volunteer program, Ambassadors will take part in virtual and in-person registration and engagement strategies this summer and fall as we mobilize the Rutgers University community to turn out on Tuesday November 7, 2023!
