Michigan Deputy Field Organizer
2 months ago
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. NextGen is committed to engaging young people in Michigan 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 Michigan as part of this ambitious effort.
This location for this role is Detroit, MI - Wayne State University. 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 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. Organizers 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. Organizers are directly responsible for managing a team of volunteers in their region to hit weekly and phase metric goals.
This role reports to the Regional Organizing Director.

- 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. This position is a part time non-exempt position and the hours here are general expectations for what the time requirement will be to effectively complete your responsibilities. Applicants must have the willingness and ability to work the following schedule:
- A work schedule consisting of approximately 3-5 hours per day, 3 days per week
- General availability to work weekends
- A high capacity work schedule during designated events (For example: campus welcome weeks, the weeks leading up to voter registration deadlines) consisting of approximately 3-5 hours per day, 4 days per week
