Swing Left and Vote Forward are hiring a Mobilization Associate. This role helps to ensure that volunteers and volunteer leaders are engaged, developed, and mobilized around capacity building and voter contact programs via online communities by supporting mobilization programs and managing volunteers.
Mobilization is a long term, continual project of identifying and recruiting volunteers, moving those volunteers up a ladder of engagement around national voter contact priorities and building specialized teams of volunteers that can scale up quickly and easily at peak times of volunteer engagement.
Mobilization works alongside Swing Left’s community organizing program, which supports local volunteer leaders to build, lead, and engage groups of volunteers in their communities to help elect Democrats in the most competitive races.
The Mobilization Associate reports to the Senior Director, Mobilization and is an at-will position that we anticipate will end after the 2024 election cycle, with the possibility of extension.
Swing Left is a national grassroots organization working to elect Democrats in the most competitive federal and state elections. We make it possible for anyone to make a big impact on the elections that determine the balance of power in our country, by volunteering and donating in key races. Since launching in 2017, Swing Left volunteers have raised more than $80 million for Democratic candidates, civic organizations, and voter mobilization efforts, and made more than 44 million combined phone calls, door knocks, and handwritten letters sent to voters via its affiliate Vote Forward and their partners.
Vote Forward is a nonpartisan organization that builds tools to encourage Americans to vote. We work to increase the participation of traditionally underrepresented groups in the electorate, and to increase civic engagement among the public at large by supporting the volunteers working to engage these voters. Since 2018, more than 250,000 grassroots volunteers have used the Vote Forward platform to send handwritten letters to more than 30 million prospective voters to encourage them to register to vote and turn out for elections. Vote Forward is closely affiliated with Swing Left.
