It's a wonder you're not running for office yourself (or maybe you are!). Surrogates love talking with people, and have never met a stranger. You're comfortable in the spotlight, but you also remember to share it and pull others into the campaign community.Potential Surrogate opportunities that you may enjoy include being door-knocking captains (break the ice for the introverts!) amplifying the campaign on social media, hosting events, and representing Sarah at events and in 1-1 community meetings.
2.

The PTA President

Can you run a bake sale? Please. You could fund the annual budget of a small island nation with the proceeds generated from your bake sales. You are the human embodiment of the quote “If you need something done, ask a busy person.” We’re nuts about your energy and can’t wait to hand you the reins on an event/initiative or two, but we promise to remind you to take a break, too. Potential volunteer opportunities that you may enjoy include hosting and/or coordinating events, coordinating other volunteers, and helping with behind-the-scenes logistics.
3.

The Wonk

Policies are your jam, and you love nothing more than a good research project. Healthcare? You have thoughts on that. Affordable housing, check. You’ve probably watched C-SPAN for fun, and we love you for it. Potential volunteer opportunities you may enjoy include joining the research team, helping to identify and map city resources, attending policy-related meetings and events, and analyzing new policy ideas.
4.

The Librarian

Always on the go, you hop from one thing to the next. It's a weird day that doesn't see you in at least 2-3 different places. You are an errand pro, and know all the best routes from one place to another, even without your GPS.Potential volunteer opportunities you may enjoy include event logistics support, providing rides to other staff and volunteers, and just generally helping us get stuff from Point A to Point B (there's a lot of that!)
