New Georgia Project (NGP) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan civic engagement organization working to build power with and increase the civic participation

of the New Georgia Majority—Black, Latinx, AAPI, and young Georgians—and other historically marginalized communities. 

I worked full-time at New Georgia Project (NGP) from July 2021 - July 2022. While there, I worked as an Operations Associate, performing a range of administrative and project management tasks. I was also on our Creative + Cultural Organizing Committee, helping bring creative civic engagement projects to life. One of those projects was Party at the Polls. This program organizes captivating, uplifting performances by artists and creatives at precincts throughout the state to celebrate democracy and create a fun, meaningful, and positive voting experience for Georgians. 

I was the co-project manager for this event. I created a plan, timeline, and other internal documents. I organized all contractor agreements and invoices. I also secured all supplies and was responsible for spending and tracking the program's budget. During production days, I was on-site driving to multiple voting locations to check in with performers and problem solving. 

In Fall 2021, We produced 46 Parties across 3 dates in 3 cities with 35 performers and 12 curators. We popped up at 33 unique voting locations staffed by site supervisors which collected 475 exit poll surveys. Of these 475 people surveyed, over 70% said that Party at the Polls improved their voter experience. We provided 282 hours of entertainment for voters in this election cycle. 

In Spring 2022, we produced 50 Parties across 4 dates in 12 cities with 102 performers and 15 curators. We popped up at 32 unique voting locations staffed by unique site supervisors which collected 351 exit poll surveys. Of these 351 people surveyed, over 80% said that Party at the Polls improved their voter experience. We provided 300 hours of entertainment for voters in this election cycle.
