## Job description

## About the Working Families Party

The Working Families Party (WFP) is the progressive party for the multiracial working class, fighting for a nation that works for the many, not the few. We recruit, train, and support transformational candidates up and down the ballot — and run them to win.

We believe that no matter where we come from or what our color, most of us want the same things. We want to earn enough to thrive, not just survive, and leave a better future for our kids. We want healthy food and clean water, safe neighborhoods and a safe world. We want to be free.

The Working Families Party is regular people coming together across our differences to make a better future for us all. We’re a multiracial party that fights for workers over bosses and people over the powerful. We want an America which realizes the promise – unrealized in our history – of freedom and equality for all.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

Voter Contact & Electoral Organizing

- Run direct voter contact through door-to-door canvassing, phone banking, texting, relational organizing, and community events in support of WFP-endorsed candidates.
- Plan and lead recurring canvasses, phone banks, and voter contact events, working toward weekly goals set with WFP staff.
- Track conversations and follow-up accurately using WFP's organizing tools.

Volunteer Recruitment & Leadership Development

- Recruit and re-engage volunteers through calls and one-on-one relational organizing.
- Build and lead a core team of 15–20 active local volunteers, moving people along a path from participant to volunteer to team leader to WFP chapter leader.
- Train volunteers to lead their own shifts and take ownership of organizing projects.

Campaign & Community Engagement

- Serve as WFP's liaison to assigned campaigns, coordinating volunteer support and maintaining strong relationships with candidates and staff.
- Build relationships with community organizations, labor and faith partners, and other stakeholders.
- Represent WFP at coalition and community events, and help identify future WFP leaders and organizers.

Training & Accountability

- Participate in required trainings, coaching, and check-ins with WFP staff.
- Maintain accurate records and submit weekly timesheets and reports on time.

## WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

By the end of the fellowship, successful fellows will have made significant direct voter contact, built a reliable 15–20 person volunteer team, developed emerging leaders, and strengthened WFP's organizing infrastructure across Metro Atlanta/ Georgia — leaving behind a stronger chapter than they found.

## SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS

- Deep ties to and current residence in Metro Atlanta.
- Commitment to economic, racial, and social justice for working families.
- Excitement about talking to voters, recruiting volunteers, and asking people to take action — including high-volume calling and in-person canvassing.
- Strong interpersonal skills and comfort starting conversations with people you don't know, across race, class, age, and political experience.
- Strong follow-through, time management, and record-keeping; ability to meet administrative deadlines.
- Willingness to work a flexible schedule, including regular evenings and weekends.
- Reliable access to a smartphone and computer with internet.
- Willingness to learn organizing tools like Scale to Win, Mobilize, and VoteBuilder.

Prior canvassing, campaign, or grassroots organizing experience is a plus, as are existing Metro Atlanta community connections, meeting/training facilitation experience, bilingual skills, and personal experience with the issues facing working-class communities.

We don't expect you to know everything coming in — we're looking for people willing to learn, talk to people, make the ask, and follow through.

Applicants must be currently authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor, or take over sponsorship of, employment visas at this time.
