SUMMARY
Julie Oliver for Congress is hiring Outreach Organizers for the 2018 election cycle.
As an outreach organizer, your mission will be to build a grassroots voter contact program by recruiting volunteers to participate in the campaign's voter contact program. You'll recruit and train volunteers to lead canvasses, run phone banks, host organizing meetings, and even open volunteer-run campaign offices.
This is not a standard field organizing job. Your geographic region might be the size of a small state. You may not have a campaign office to work out of. You'll use Slack and Google Apps as much as you use VAN.
This position reports to the Field Director.

Helping volunteers open their own grassroots offices.
Traveling relentlessly within your assigned region.
Recruiting, training and supervising statewide teams of volunteers who remotely support the voter contact program.
Becoming a super user of key productivity (Google Apps, Slack, etc.) and voter contact (Relay, LiveVox, VAN) technologies and patiently teaching volunteers to use them.
Meticulous daily reporting.
Assist other departments by planning and staffing events; setting up meetings with African American leaders, community members, and organizations; and undertaking occasional research projects.
