Unpaid Organizers Wanted To Help Change the World. Rich kids apply here!
Joseph --
If you don't already have plans for the summer, how about changing the world?
We're looking for students, recent grads, and anyone else who believes in the power of organizing to join our "Summer Organizers" program.
Summer Organizers will be trained on the principles, strategies, and tactics of effective grassroots organizing -- and will put those skills to use to make historic change.
For at least 40 hours each week, from June 12th until August 15th, Summer Organizers will:
Organize communities in support of President Obama's most important policy priorities;
Work hand in hand with Organizing for America staff, volunteer leaders, and fellow Summer Organizers;
And engage voters who haven't been involved in the political process before, or who only got involved for the first time in 2008.
The position is unpaid, but you'll gain valuable training and experience that will prepare you for a future career in community organizing, campaigns, or advocacy work.
Applying to be a Summer Organizer is simple -- just copy and past this url: http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/so2010app?source=20100407_ND But you must apply before the April 21st deadline.
This movement has accomplished so much in just a short time -- an improbable victory in 2008, the confirmation of a history-making Supreme Court Justice, huge reforms for health care and student loans, and so much more.
But we're just getting started. And with the midterm elections right around the corner, we'll need to do even more.
I hope you'll join us on this incredible journey. Click here to apply to be a Summer Organizer:
