POSITION DESCRIPTION 

We are looking for organizers at many levels of experience, including people just starting in their careers; mid-career people looking to make a lateral move into a new field; and experienced organizers who can grow into the role of Lead Organizer. We are ultimately looking for someone who is eager to figure out how to create a better world. Let's do it together. Looking for people from all sorts of backgrounds. You don't have to be an organizer to grow into an organizer.

Responsibilities:

The core duty is to identify, recruit, and train community leaders using proven person-to-person relationship building and small group organizing methods. Also, guide and support leaders in shaping campaigns to identify wins on important issues to the well being of the community. Organizers, are those who have the heart and courage to innovate and make the world how it should be, because the way it is, is not working for our communities. We are looking for change makers with a mix of talent scouts, teachers and coaches, community leaders, strategists, field researchers, policy nerds, campaign builders, drivers of action, evaluators, administrators, listeners, agitators, and team builders.
