First full-time team

Do you believe in Europe? Do you believe in the need for a new voice in politics? If yes, now it is time to act!

Since the founding moment, our force has been that hundreds of volunteers drive our organization on a daily basis. We are now already 15.000 supporters across 32 countries. However, ahead of a campaign, Volt needs to take it to the next level, by having dedicated full time members working to shape the future, not be shaped by the past.

Thanks to your donations, the full timers started working on September 1st. This could have never happened without all of you! But, we are not fully there yet - we need more funds to keep the team active until the European Parliament Elections in May 2019. 

A full-timer costs us around EUR 2,000, amounting to EUR 72.000 until the European Parliamentary elections (September to May). This is really just the core team. If we receive more funds, we will hire additional staff. Help us to grow the movement to more than 1 million people at the time of the election, such that we can win the 25 seats in the European Parliament next year.

Please participate to our crowdfunding campaign to support our first full-time team. We aim to reach 72,000 euros by the 1st of January 2019
