The Field Organizer will have 3-5 years of relevant work experience, with skills in volunteer recruitment and mobilization.
The Field Organizer will build long-term partnerships with student and community groups and various social justice organizations to build support for Population Connection’s legislative agenda. This outreach is conducted through email and phone calls to the general public – from college students to senior citizens – with the goal of generating a large and diverse grassroots force in support of international family planning and reproductive health and rights. Through this work, the Field Organizer will recruit a volunteer base with whom they will execute campaign goals.
The Field Organizer coordinate with these advocates to set up speaking engagements, meetings with members of Congress, volunteer activities, and other events.
