Operations Associate

Project 26 Pennsylvania is the home for Pennsylvania students who are ready to challenge the far-right's attacks on our futures and build a Pennsylvania where Gen-Z can lead and thrive.

In 2026, young Pennsylvanians will have the opportunity to elect a Governor, who will be instrumental in standing up to a government that has constantly overlooked the youth. At an estimated 793,555 registered voters across the state, Gen-Z has the power to determine the outcomes of these elections – but only if we get organized now.
