I got involved with Jolt on a whim – sorta! I remember first hearing about Jolt while I was finishing up college but it wasn’t until I moved to Houston that I got involved. It took me a few months but after settling into my new home and job, I had some free time to spare so I decided finding a place to volunteer would be a good idea. Considering my background as a Latino passionate about civic participation and Latinx representation at all levels of government, Jolt really fit the bill for what I was looking for in a volunteer program. Jolt also does a good job of advertising their volunteer programs on social media so after seeing one of their posts, I “slid” into Jolt’s DMs and asked about when and where I could volunteer. Since then, I have been consistently involved with almost all of Jolt’s volunteer projects and have found a new home with my new Jolt Familia!
