Paid Training Program - Union and Political Organizing

Join union hospitality workers to build political and workplace power!

Ready to WALK SIDE BY SIDE with workers organizing for political and workplace power?

Hundreds of union workers will soon begin a full-time Organizer Training and Canvassing Program. Click here to join them!

UNITE HERE, the hospitality workers union, is opening up full-time paid spots in this program to supporters and activists from across social justice movements that stand in solidarity with labor.

Do you care about workers’ rights, racial justice, LGBTQ+ liberation, women's rights, immigrant justice, and voting rights? Do you want to learn organizing, data, communications and research skills while fighting to defeat anti-worker forces in the critical mid-term elections? Then this program is for you! 

Full-time paid openings are available in Nevada, Arizona and Pennsylvania beginning in July and through November. Depending on location, spots are available for lengths of 2 to 4 months. Housing will be provided for those who do not live in the program location.

There is so much at stake in the mid-term elections for working people. You can make the difference by reaching into communities that are often over looked.

The 2022 Organizer Training and Canvassing Program will include:

• Daily Door-to-door canvassing in working-class communities of color to get out the vote for pro-worker candidates.
• Training on Labor history, labor law, and the process for organizing workers.
• Presentations by movement leaders who have led workplace organizing campaigns, as well as other campaigns for social justice, with Q and A and discussion breakout groups
• Individual leadership and skill development plans for each participant with 1-1 mentorship throughout
• Regular Role play training on skills including story-telling, agitation around issues, inspiring folks to act, effective follow up, use of mobile technology and data, and communications
• Racial justice and solidarity training and workshops
• Street actions
