  • Greeting attendees 
  • Distributing flyers and campaign materials 
  • Staffing an information table 
  • Talking with community members 
  • Delivering signs or supplies 
  • Sharing upcoming events with friends and neighbors 


No campaign experience is needed. Choose an upcoming event, then complete the volunteer form and tell us how you would like to help.

Help Us Get the Word Out

Every Dollar Helps.

This campaign is powered by District 45 families, neighbors, teachers, alumni, and community members who believe strong schools are worth protecting.


Your contribution helps cover the real costs of voter outreach, including signs, flyers, printing, digital tools, event materials, and community education.


A contribution of any size helps us reach more voters and make sure people have the information they need before they cast their ballot.


* The Y45 Committee will donate any extra funds not spent at the end of the campaign to the D45 Foundation. 


* Donations made to a committee supporting a referendum are not tax-deductible in the state of Illinois.
