Job DescriptionJob DescriptionSalary: $5,695.00/month

Michigan Regional Organizing Director (Dearborn):


THE ROLE: 

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

In Michigan, this effort will focus on organizing young people on campuses and the surrounding communities to bring progressive change to government through voting. Our work will engage young people in voter registration efforts, volunteer recruitment, and pledging young people to vote. Regional Organizing Directors need to be comfortable and confident in: mobilizing their own community, growing their network to include new volunteers to train, and motivating community leaders to help register and mobilize their own networks. Regional Organizing Directors are directly responsible for managing a team of organizers in their region to hit weekly and phase metric goals.
