Our Commitment to Volunteers

At The Policy Project, volunteers are at the heart of every positive change made. Whether you’re helping at an event, organizing materials, supporting outreach efforts, or contributing your unique skills behind the scenes, your time and energy make a real difference—The Policy Project’s impact literally would not happen without you.

When you join The Policy Project as a volunteer, you're not just giving your time—you’re becoming part of a passionate, people-centered movement to create lasting change. In return, The Policy Project leadership team and staff are committed to making your volunteer experience meaningful, positive, and well-supported.

Here’s what you can expect from us:

• Clear Expectations & Support: We’ll provide the information, tools, and guidance you need to feel confident in your role, from day one through your entire term of service.

• Training & Feedback: We’ll offer training where needed and provide ongoing support and encouragement to help you succeed.

• Respect & Kindness: You’ll be treated with respect, professionalism, and appreciation—always.

• Open Communication: Your ideas and feedback matter. We’re always eager to listen, learn, and improve together.

• Gratitude & Recognition: We value your time, talents, and dedication. Your contributions are critical to achieving our mission, and we’ll never take them for granted.

• Ongoing Community & Support: A strong volunteer experience is a two-way street. When you give your time and energy, we’re committed to being a resource for your future—whether that’s providing a professional reference, writing a letter of recommendation, connecting you with others in your field, or supporting your next steps in meaningful ways.

Most of all, we want your time with The Policy Project to feel meaningful—like you’re part of something bigger, surrounded by people who care deeply about the work and each other.

We’re so glad you’re here. Let’s do real good for real people, together.
