Volunteer for FDA

The Foundation for Democratic Advancement is looking for members in a volunteer capacity. (As the financial resources of the FDA increase, there will be part-time and full-time positions available.)

The basic requirement for membership is belief in the cause of advancing fair and transparent democratic processes, underlaid by a belief in government of, by, and for the people.

Also, it is essential that members are objective, honest, open-minded, and non-partisan.

Currently, the FDA is looking for members to fill volunteer positions in grant writing/fund raising, public relations, and research.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the FDA, please send a resume and/or background information and cover letter to:
