The community organizer works closely with policy analysts and research analysts to set the research agenda and legislative standards for the organization and to organize local, state and federal campaigns and coalitions for policy change. The organizer will be responsible for identifying opportunities for advocacy and organizing; researching and implementing small pilot programs; and facilitating town hall meetings, community forums, and leadership development training programs. Ideal candidates are deeply committed to facilitating leadership growth opportunities, especially for Black girls and women and young people at large, and are willing take the necessary steps to learn or hone their craft as organizers.
