Job Description
The Campaign Finance Board is a nonpartisan, independent city agency that empowers New Yorkers to have a greater impact on their elections. Our mission is to make local democracy more open, transparent, and equitable by removing barriers to participation.
We make it easier for New Yorkers to vote, meaningfully support candidates for city office, and run for office themselves. NYC Votes, our voter engagement initiative, meets people where they are to share trustworthy election information and help New Yorkers make a plan to vote. We publish the citywide Voter Guide, which delivers information about candidates directly to voters’ doors. Our public matching funds program ensures small contributions can make a big difference, allowing regular people to run for office by relying on the support of other regular people, not just wealthy donors and special interests. And we lift the veil on how candidates raise and spend money, increasing transparency and accountability in local government.
We believe that when every New Yorker is empowered to participate meaningfully in elections, candidates will better reflect the communities they serve, elected leaders will be more accountable to the public, and New Yorkers will have a democracy they can truly trust.
ABOUT THE UNIT
Public Affairs Division
The Public Affairs division engages New Yorkers, informs them about elections, and boosts their participation in the democratic process. We make election information accessible and relevant, increase engagement with underrepresented communities, and cultivate a team that reflects our core values of purpose, curiosity, creativity, and collaboration.
The division includes Marketing and Digital Communications, Community Engagement, Language Access, and Public Relations. Our division’s work includes publishing the citywide Voter Guide, running the official citywide Debates Program, and managing the voter engagement initiative, NYC Votes.
Community Engagement Unit
The Community Engagement unit works to build partnerships across the city to disseminate voting information, deliver accessible voter education, and conduct direct to voter outreach. Through relationships with community-based organizations as well as on-the-ground voter outreach, this team creates pathways for all New Yorkers to gain trustworthy and accessible information and education around voting and democracy.
JOB DESCRIPTION
NYC Votes aims to increase civic participation among New Yorkers through Community Education and Outreach efforts, with a particular focus on reaching priority audiences, including voters under 30, voters with disabilities, voters impacted by the criminal legal system, and voters who speak languages other than English.
Although we're seeking three interns to join the Partnerships & Outreach team, this posting is focused on our one Community Outreach Intern. One Community Outreach Intern will report to the Senior Outreach Manager and support outreach efforts in low-turnout neighborhoods across New York City, with a focus on engaging communities that speak languages other than English (LOTE). This intern will support the research, preparation, implementation, and evaluation of outreach events; contribute creative outreach tactics, and lead strategy development for maximizing our impact and reach in priority communities. The interns will also support the Partnerships and Outreach team in building and maintaining strong internal systems to organize and track partnership development. This includes maintaining team databases, documenting outreach efforts, and supporting data entry.
The responsibilities and tasks to be completed in this role include, but are not limited to:
- Supporting the team’s efforts to build relationships with key stakeholders, such as City-agencies, CBOs, schools, and college campuses, to increase voter turnout. The Community Outreach intern will be expected to travel independently to deliver NYC Votes civic engagement curriculum to priority audiences.
- Understanding, tracking, and meeting community needs through the provision of resources and materials, education delivery, event execution, among other engagement and education approaches.
- Identify organizations that work in our priority neighborhoods and/or serve one or more of our priority communities, including voters under 30, voters with disabilities, and systems-impacted voters.
- Research legislation and public policy relevant to our priority communities; compile this research and present at the end of summer.
- Support the development and delivery of outreach programming for priority audiences, including voters under 30, voters with disabilities, voters who speak languages other than English, and voters impacted by the criminal legal system.
- Work with staff to design and implement a capstone project, a signature outreach event tailored to a high-need priority neighborhood, incorporating community input and creative civic engagement tactics.

Tips for Your Community Outreach Coordinator Job Search
Quantify your community impact on your resume
Generic phrases like 'built community relationships' get ignored. Replace them with specifics: how many people you engaged, how many events you organized, or how many partner organizations you coordinated. Hiring managers for outreach roles want evidence of scale, not just activity.
Highlight bilingual skills in your application
Many community outreach coordinator postings specifically require or prefer fluency in Spanish, Haitian Creole, or another language spoken by the population served. If you're bilingual, list it prominently in your resume header and repeat it in your cover letter with context about who you've served.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists community outreach coordinator openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Match your resume to the mission sector
A community outreach resume for a public health nonprofit reads differently than one for a city housing authority. Swap out sector-neutral language for the terminology each employer uses in their posting, whether that's 'social determinants,' 'civic engagement,' or 'case navigation,' to signal you understand their work.
Prepare stories about trust-building with skeptical communities
Interviewers for outreach roles almost always ask how you've engaged hard-to-reach populations. Prepare two or three specific examples where you overcame distrust or cultural barriers, naming the community, your approach, and the outcome. Vague answers about 'building relationships' won't differentiate you.
Negotiate your job title alongside your compensation
Community outreach roles vary wildly in title: coordinator, liaison, specialist, ambassador. If a posting's title undersells the scope of the work, ask during the offer stage whether the title is flexible. A more senior title affects your next job search, not just your business card.
Community Outreach Coordinator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most community outreach coordinators?
CableSouth Media III, CADC, and OverSightMD are hiring the most community outreach coordinators right now, with openings concentrated in California, Texas, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Nonprofits, hospital systems, and local government agencies consistently represent the largest share of active postings.
How many community outreach coordinator jobs are remote?
About 51% of community outreach coordinator openings are fully remote or hybrid as of September 2026, which is lower than many office-based roles because the work is inherently in-person. Sub-areas most likely to offer remote flexibility include grant writing, program coordination, and digital community engagement rather than direct field outreach or event facilitation.
How do you become a community outreach coordinator?
Most community outreach coordinators start with a bachelor's degree in social work, public health, communications, or a related field, then build hands-on experience through internships, AmeriCorps service, or volunteer coordination roles. From there, developing fluency in a second language, earning a certificate in nonprofit management, and assembling a portfolio of programs you have run will strengthen your candidacy significantly.
Can I get a community outreach coordinator job with little experience?
Yes, entry-level community outreach coordinator roles exist, and employers hiring for them often value lived experience in the community they serve as much as formal credentials. Volunteering with local nonprofits, joining a city advisory board, or completing a public health internship gives you the program coordination and relationship-building examples that hiring managers want to see in early-career candidates.
What does the community outreach coordinator interview process look like?
Most employers run two to three rounds: an initial phone or video screen focused on your background and interest in their mission, followed by a panel interview with program staff and community partners where you walk through past outreach campaigns in detail. Some organizations add a practical component, such as designing a sample outreach plan or delivering a brief community presentation, before extending an offer.
Where can I find and apply to community outreach coordinator jobs?
You can find and apply to community outreach coordinator jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your background and interests, and apply directly to each listing from the same page.
