# Shift Captain Guide

The shift captain’s role is to support, guide, and coordinate other canvassers during shifts. The shift captain hosts shifts by providing materials, orienting new volunteers, and briefing/debriefing the group.

If you are interested in stepping up to an organizer-level role and taking on the responsibilities of a shift captain, please reach out to Brent for more information and an introductory call!
