BASTA is seeking bilingual volunteers who are passionate about renter justice to support our door-to-door outreach to renters In Austin. Volunteers will work in partnership with a staff organizer to build relationships with renters in properties where we are organizing. Door-to-door outreach may include inviting renters to tenant association activities, asking questions to learn more about the problems that renters are facing, and conducting short surveys about different issues at the property.
We are looking for volunteers who are fluent in English and one or more of the following languages: Arabic, Burmese, Dari, Farsi, Pashto, Mandarin, Spanish, Vietnamese
Door-to-door outreach takes place at apartment complexes across the city of Austin on weekday evenings and Saturdays during the day - schedules will vary based on our changing needs. Volunteer commitments can be one-time or ongoing, but all volunteers must be able to commit to a 2-3 hour time frame when they volunteer. All outreach training will be provided by our team!
