As
a SNAP Organizing Fellow, you’ll receive training from experienced
organizers with roots in electoral politics as well as the labor and
economic justice, environmental, LGBTQ, and immigrants’ rights movements. You’ll
learn to talk to voters and recruit volunteers to elect Democratic
candidates who are ready to put Congress to work building a fairer
society.
SNAP
seeks to hire 20 Organizing Fellows in our early application round and 15-20
more in the March regular round. All Organizing Fellows will be placed on
liberal/progressive Congressional campaigns in competitive districts across the
country. Fellows will attend a three-day training session in the New York metro
area in early June and then work as grassroots organizers on campaigns from
early June to the middle of August. Many past fellows have been asked to stay
on their campaigns through the fall.
Equal Access Statement: SNAP believes that our country’s leadership should
reflect its diversity. We therefore pay all Organizing Fellows a stipend of up
to $5,000, based on financial need. The average stipend in summer 2012 was
$1,443 plus free housing and travel for 10 weeks.
How to Apply: For priority consideration, please submit your
application for the Organizing Fellowship Program as soon as possible. Details
of our application can be found at http://www.snappac.org/apply-for-the-2014-organizing-fellowship/.
Early Application Round: Apply by Wednesday, December 18 and
