Action Corps is recruiting volunteer organizers to join our team. We are building leaders to fight voter suppression and end U.S. participation in Middle East wars.
Action Corps will support organizers to:
Build and lead a team in your state,
Connect with your state’s congressional offices,
Develop relationships with groups near you,
Create and update social media accounts, and
Coordinate participation in local events.
Organizers will have the opportunity to:
Belong to a multiracial, multicultural, intergenerational community of people passionate for global justice,
Connect with a variety of organizations, leaders, and potential employers,
Gain job skills,
Earn a possible letter of recommendation, and
Expand your role in Action Corps into a paid fellowship or other opportunity.
The commitment requires 2 to 5 hours per week, including weekly hour-long meetings, for a minimum of 12 months. All accepted applicants will receive training during the virtual orientation and support during weekly Sunday-evening calls beginning in August. They will also be invited to an in-person leadership training in Washington, DC, September 13-16.
If you are passionate for global justice, we invite you to apply today to be an Action Corps organizer. The application deadline is July 31st. Finalists will be invited for a short interview over video. Accepted applicants will be invited to online training and orientation sessions prior to the September training in DC.
