We need a volunteer to optimize the mobile experience for VerifyIt! (https://playverifyit.org) a free web-based game for high-school and college students. It is designed to teach them about their voting rights, civics and the U.S. Constitution and how to verify the truth of social media posts and news stories.

We are updating the game to be more mobile-based, engaging and easy to play. The League of Women Voters (Alameda CA) sponsors and promotes the game nationwide. It has been accepted by the CA Department of Education as a teaching resource. We are looking for volunteers to work on specific project components to help finish the newest version of the game.

The League of Women Voters is a 100+ year organization with a mission to empower voters and defend democracy.

The League is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization working to protect and expand voting rights and ensure everyone is represented in our democracy. Your volunteer support will help to achieve those goals.
