Volunteer Member Organizer

Public service workers across the country are organizing with AFSCME and mobilizing in their communities to win fairness, respect and a voice on the job. Workers from Washington state to Washington, D.C., from Nevada and Colorado to Ohio, Maryland and Virginia, are fighting for a powerful voice and voting YES to organize. They do that with the help of Volunteer Member Organizers (VMOs).
VMOs are a dedicated force of AFSCME members who inspire, lead and encourage by volunteering on campaigns in their own backyard or wherever workers are organizing. They help workers organize a union forthe first time, work on political campaigns to elect worker-friendly candidates and sign up and activate new members in AFSCME locals. VMOs make a difference by empowering workers to win respect and a voice on the job.
