Campus Organizer

Field Organizers are the core engine driving our campus ground game. You will own a regional turf, implementing our field strategy to register, educate, and mobilize young voters. You will be responsible for executing the campaign's "class rap" strategy, running high-energy campus events, and building lasting student volunteer pipelines. You will directly manage a cohort of student Fall Fellows and volunteer teams, helping them execute campus-specific action plans.  

This role reports to a Regional Organizing Director (ROD) and begins with a comprehensive, full-week paid training bootcamp.

What Will You Do?

Core responsibilities:

• Drive the Campus Ground Game: Execute daily direct voter contact on your turf through dorm storming, off-campus student apartment outreach, high-traffic campus tabling, phone banking, and relational voter contact.
• Execute the Class Rap Strategy: Build a network of faculty relationships to secure lecture hall presentation access, with a target of securing at least 8 confirmed class rap commitments per priority campus for September.
• Manage and Develop Student Leaders: Manage a team of Fall Fellows on your campuses, running weekly 1:1 coaching sessions to move volunteers up the leadership ladder.
• Lead "Block Party" Welcome Week Activations: Plan and run high-visibility campus Welcome Week events.
• Maintain Strict Voter Protection & Quality Control: Implement our 5-step Voter Registration Quality Control pipeline (including on-the-spot reviews and forms tracking) to ensure compliance with Minnesota absentee, online, and same-day registration rules.
• Own Regional Data: Serve as a data steward by managing the cleanliness of your regional file, running EveryAction/VAN reports, and tracking weekly field metrics.

Who Are You?

A successful candidate for this role will be:

• Natural Relationship Builder: You are comfortable with cold outreach to faculty and student groups, and you know how to pitch a 3-minute conversation arc that converts students into active volunteers.
• Scrappy & Adaptive: You thrive in fast-paced environments, possess a bias toward action, and are comfortable navigating evolving campus access policies.
• Data & Goal-Oriented: You understand that hiring pipelines, shift tracking, and list hygiene are what win tight elections.
• Mission-Driven: You possess a deep commitment to Gen Z youth leadership, progressive politics, and expanding democracy.
• Ready to Move: You have a driver's license and reliable transportation, are eager to get on the road and onto campuses, and can work irregular hours and weekends as the election cycle demands.
