    Job Description

    Job DescriptionSalary: $4,632.50/month

    North Carolina Field Organizer (Durham):

    THE ROLE:

    NextGen America is seeking passionate and hardworking candidates to join our youth organizing program in North Carolina, 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 North Carolina 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 North Carolina as part of this ambitious effort.

    The primary work location for this role will be North Carolina Central 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 North Carolina, 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.

    FLSA Classification: Exempt

    Remote Position: No

    • 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

    REQUIRED SCHEDULE & AVAILABILITY:

    This role has a structured schedule as defined in the collective bargaining agreement between represented field staff and NextGen. As with most jobs in field organizing, the schedule for this role will fluctuate based on the time of year.

    • 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
    • Excellent organizational skills
