Are Political Volunteers Honored or Abused
You're fresh out of college and you want to get into a political career. You have volunteered to help with your political candidate's campaign because you see that as your only way in. Your fearless political leader is out spending his donations on parties, travels, dinners, and drinks.. of course to effectively network while you are reaching your 12+ hour work day. You barely make a living and start to wonder about the whole political system. Let's start with the topic of volunteering in the political system.
Are political campaigns volunteer friendly? Does the committee allow flexible work hours? Are you having fun? Does the candidate thank you and reward you? If a political candidate that is campaigning can create a volunteer friendly organization, they will be able to substantially enhance their ability to attract volunteers, donations, and votes, leading to electoral success.
So tell me, for those of you who are political volunteers, do you have any good stories, or frustration you want to vent?
