Throughout the year, the California Center for Civic Participation looks to recruit energized and passionate individuals who can support our core programs: Green Focus, Women in Politics, Avenues to Civic Action, and The Legacy Vote. Program Instructors (PI's) support youth during our programming events and have the option to assist in creating activities and curriculum for instruction. PI’s are recognized as experts in the field, bringing a wealth of knowledge about various policy issues associated with the topics discussed. They are encouraged to act as equal partners to the youth which creates trust and makes them feel comfortable so that they can express themselves freely and become fully engaged.    

Recruitment is on-going, so stay posted on our news page and social media for announcements.
