THE ROLE:
NextGen America is seeking passionate and hardworking candidates to join our youth organizing program in Pennsylvania, working to engage young people in electoral politics by registering thousands of young people to vote across the state.

This role will be focused on organizing in one of several regions in Pennsylvania as part of this ambitious effort.
In Pennsylvania, this effort will focus on organizing young people on campuses and the surrounding communities to bring progressive change to government through voting.

Organizers are directly responsible for managing a team of volunteers in their region to hit weekly and phase metric goals.
This role will be based in State College and reports to the Organizing Director in Pennsylvania.
