Qualified "online organizers" are urgently needed for progressive political campaigns – as well as for progressive non-profit organizations with growing online memberships.
 |
| |
To fill that need, a group of experienced online organizers formed the New Organizing Institute, in conjunction with MoveOn.org.
|
| |
The NOI is an open project – with a number of ways experienced online organizers can contribute to curricula, trainings and research. We are looking for additional team members to plan and run the first week-long Winter training.
|
| |
The Republican Party currently trains dozens of "e-Campaigns" staff on the job at RNC headquarters – rotating out trainees to campaigns after approximately six months. No such training program exists for progressive campaigns and organizations.
|
| |
Each year, the NOI holds an intensive week-long "campaign boot camp" for 40-60 trainees — selected through a highly competitve application process for their organizing and tech savvy.
|
| |
The NOI aggressively recruits outside of white and male stereotypes of political technology staff for both trainers and trainees, resulting in a proven track record of diverse participation in NOI trainings and events.
|
| |
All travel, lodging and food expenses are covered for trainees at the week-long "boot camp" trainings.
|
| |
Admissions are extremely selective, based on these and other requirements: excellent writing ability; some experience in organizing, activism or technology; strategic and logical thinking; great social skills; desire to work on a political campaign, willingness to relocate, and a passion to change the world.
