Virginia Field Organizer (Locust Grove):


THE ROLE: 

NextGen America is seeking passionate and hardworking candidates to join our youth organizing program in Virginia, working to engage young people in electoral politics by registering thousands of young people to vote across the state. NextGen is committed to engaging young people in Virginia in the political process and increasing participation among 18-35 year olds. This role will be focused on organizing in one of several regions in Virginia as part of this ambitious effort.

The primary work location for this role will be assigned at time of hire. This is an in-person position and you will be required to work on your primary campus according to the schedule laid out below. 


In Virginia, 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. Organizers need to be comfortable and confident in: speaking with students and canvassing in public, 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. Organizers are directly responsible for hitting weekly and phase metric goals.


This role reports to the Regional Organizing Director.

  • Work with college administrations to increase civic participation and voter registration within the campus community

  • Develop NextGen student clubs on campuses and work with student leaders to run these clubs and host events on campus and online
  • Develop relationships and partnerships with local community and student groups
  • Plan and host events within the community, on campus, and virtually
  • Recruit and train a local volunteer team that will organize their networks around voter registration drives and get out the vote efforts
  • Perform other duties as assigned

As with most jobs in field organizing, the schedule for this role will fluctuate based on the time of year.

Applicants must have the willingness and ability to work the following schedule:

  • A work schedule consisting of approximately 8-10 hours per day, 5 days per week
  • General availability to work weekends and irregular hours
  • A high capacity work schedule during designated events (For example: campus welcome weeks, the weeks leading up to voter registration deadlines) consisting of approximately 10-12 hours per day, 6 days per week
  • A work schedule consisting of up to 12 hours per day, 7 days per week for the 14 days leading up to the General Election (on even years only)


ABOUT YOU:

  • Ability to work independently and remotely
  • Effective communicator in 1:1, group, or public environments
  • Driven by a strong work ethic
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills
