ORGANIZER/MOBILIZER
WASHINGTON, D.C.

Organizers help engage workers, develop workers’ leadership skills, mobilize workers around issues and politics, and carry out the goals of the union.

As an Organizer you will mentor, coach, teach, and foster the talents of our potential members, who are low-wage construction workers. While previous experience in union or community organizing is highly desirable, there is no hard and fast pre-requisite to start a career as an Organizer.

Candidates must have:

• Basic computer literacy and willingness and ability to learn the organization’s technology tools
• Willingness to work long, irregular hours, including evenings and weekends, is required.
• Must also have a willingness and ability to travel, including frequent travel within the assigned turf, within the Washington DC Metro Area.
• Strong personal planning, motivation, and time management skills and ability to work with people from other cultures and backgrounds.
• The ability to exercise discretion and independent judgment are considered key components to achieving organizer performance standards.

Women and people of color strongly encouraged to apply. Fluency in languages in addition to English is a plus.

Submit cover letter, résumé and three references with current contact information to bshepherd@malaborers.org
