Poverty isn’t inevitable. By working together, we can do something about it.
At RESULTS, we believe in a future where everyone has the opportunity to succeed, no matter where they live or what challenges they face. But that future won’t build itself. It takes everyday people - like you - speaking up, taking action, and helping shape decisions that affect us all.
If you’re ready to make a meaningful difference, we’d love to welcome you into our RESULTS community of advocates. Sign up today at www.results.org/volunteer
Congress is making decisions that will affect the health, nutrition, and economic well-being of millions of families in the U.S. and around the world. RESULTS is a nonpartisan movement of committed advocates working to ensure these decisions reflect our shared values - dignity, opportunity, and a better future for all - especially for people experiencing poverty in the U.S. and around the world. Every action we take furthers these values and brings us closer to a world where everyone can thrive.
What You’ll Advocate For
As a RESULTS advocate, you’ll use your voice to:
- Protect U.S. health and nutrition programs like SNAP and Medicaid
- Improve tax policies that support people with low incomes, including the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit
- Raise awareness of global challenges like child malnutrition, access to vaccines, maternal and child health, access to education, and the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria
- Advocate for U.S. support for global health and education programs and stronger health systems worldwide
No experience? No problem. We’ll support you every step of the way.
Start Your Advocacy Journey
We’re now recruiting for our Fall New Advocate Training Program, starting with a 1-hour New Advocate Orientation in August. Sign up today at www.results.org/volunteer
Come learn who we are, what we fight for, and how to take your first action. Everyone who signs up and attends will receive our New Advocate Action Plan and Starter Pack to guide you through the basics.
Then, join our New Advocate Incubator in September and October. You will:
- Attend two interactive training and action sessions led by RESULTS staff
- Learn to speak powerfully about solutions to poverty
- Build your skills and confidence in speaking to Congress, writing powerful media, and mobilizing your community
- Take meaningful actions as part of our national campaigns
When you complete the incubator, you’ll be introduced to a local RESULTS group and take your advocacy to the next level.
During the summer, we’ll provide you with updates, action opportunities, and invitations to local and national advocacy events.
Ready to raise your voice? Let’s take action together.

Mission Statement
RESULTS is a movement of passionate, committed everyday people. Together they use their voices to influence political decisions that will bring an end to poverty. Volunteers receive training, support, and inspiration to become skilled advocates. In time, volunteers learn to effectively advise policy makers, guiding them towards decisions that improve access to education, health, and economic opportunity. With every hour of their time, volunteers multiply their impact through the enormous power of advocacy -- whether it’s helping change policy to support millions of families putting food on the table or helping raise billions of dollars for the world’s most vulnerable children. Backed by the in-depth research and legislative expertise of staff, RESULTS advocates realize the incredible power they possess to use their voices to change the world.
Description
For over 40 years, RESULTS and RESULTS Educational Fund have been shining light on critical, effective solutions to poverty. By combining the powerful voices of civic advocates with research and oversight of U.S. anti-poverty efforts at home and abroad, RESULTS has been changing government priorities and people’s lives.
"I saw RESULTS on VolunteerMatch, but I wasn’t sure what advocacy was. Before that, I wasn’t really aware of the way different government policies impacted me. But RESULTS gave me a whole new perspective. I learned that if you want change, first you need to see what members of Congress are doing and build connections." - Yaseer Khanani
"I became an advocate because I wanted to be more involved in an organization that strives to make positive change. I really appreciate how genuine and dedicated everyone is to the RESULTS mission." - Sunjay Menon
"At RESULTS, we advocate for the issues that are close to my heart, like global health, education, and poverty eradication. I get to talk about issues that I witness throughout my professional and personal life. I can effect change by raising my voice." - Shabina Hussein
