Volunteer as part of CAIR SFBA’s team of Civic Engagement Champions!
Our Civic Engagement Champions (CEC) volunteer group plays a crucial role in helping us build unity, leadership, and power among our community. Together, several dozen committed individuals reach thousands of groups and individuals in their respective cities within the Bay Area.
With our political voice at stake, this is a unique opportunity to serve your local community through being an ambassador of CAIR-SFBA!
To volunteer as a CEC, applicants should:
- Live in the San Francisco Bay Area
- Have access to a working vehicle or public transportation
- Plan to attend a monthly Zoom gathering with staff and the CEC team
- Commit to supporting CAIR’s work on at least a monthly basis throughout the year; this could entail being trained and guided to
- Join meetings with your local and state elected officials (coordinated by our Sr. Government Relations Coordinator)

When public health guidance enables CAIR to resume in-person outreach:
