Obama Organizing Fellowship
Become an Obama Organizing Fellow!
As a grassroots organization whose motto is “Respect, Empower, Include, Win,” we deeply value empowering staff and volunteers by building their organizing skills through trainings and leadership opportunities. We know that our power lies in the people behind this movement, and investments in them pay great dividends at every level of our organization. Obama Organizing Fellows are a key part of building that people power in our communities and campuses across the nation.
The Obama Organizing Fellowship Program will train and develop the next generation of community organizers and will help the campaign expand its outreach efforts in communities throughout the country. Organizing is inspiring but difficult work, so only those with a serious interest should apply.
Some Organizing Fellows will work for the Obama Campaign directly while others will work for Organizing for America. Regardless, Organizing Fellows who complete the program will leave with a full understanding of the most effective tools and methods that organizers use to make change in their communities. This program is often a first step in preparing for employment as some Organizing Fellows will go on to full-time jobs with the campaign.
The Obama Organizing Fellowship is a 12-week program which will be held 3 times in 2012: the spring, the summer, and the fall.
