These individuals will serve as part-time State Organizer Fellows for a period of 6-24 months in the following states: Arizona, California, Nevada, Ohio, and/or Wisconsin.
The Fellows will apply their leadership skills to manage a cohort of young organizers, called Civic Influencers, to drive youth voter and civic engagement on campus and amongst their peers. In addition, they will also help build and maintain partnerships with youth leaders, administrators, faculty, staff, and community partners across target states in their specific region.

Whether it's climate change, reproductive rights, the housing crisis, or any other theme related to systemic change, you'll have the chance to explore and advocate for the issues that matter most to you.
One of the key aspects of this fellowship is grassroots organizing. You'll be tasked with mobilizing and empowering youth in tipping point states, where their voices can make a significant impact. Through community engagement, education, and strategic advocacy efforts, you'll play a pivotal role in driving tangible progress on the ground.
What sets this fellowship apart is the autonomy you'll have to shape your organizing and advocacy initiatives. Additionally, you'll have the unique opportunity to learn directly from our Chief of Organizing, Advocacy, and Learning. Their expertise and guidance will provide invaluable insights as you navigate the complexities of advocacy and grassroots organizing.
If you're ready to be part of a dynamic community of change-makers, to learn, grow, and make a real difference in the world of democracy, then we encourage you to apply for our State Organizing Fellowship today. Together, let's ignite systemic change and create a brighter future for all.
