    Addition (a project of Tides Center) seeking a community organizer to work on their Senior Care Campaign in the upper Midwest. We are looking for a candidate committed to building winning economic and social justice campaigns. As a community organizer, you will be responsible for organizing with working-class rural people in Wisconsin by conducting one-to-one visits, building an engaged base of people, developing grassroots leadership, creating effective communications, and more.

    We are looking for someone who is excited about building power with people in new ways and in places, who has a track record of successful organizing that creates changes people can see and feel in their daily lives, and who has the drive, self-direction and flexibility to expand our senior organizing.

    You will help drive the Senior Care Campaign in Wisconsin and help shape our regional organizing strategy. This is a great opportunity for a skilled, strategic leader to grow our current campaigns and launch new organizing with seniors in rural Wisconsin.

    • Listen for issues that resonate with rural people, frame the issues, help people create effective organizing plans and take action.
    • Work to identify and develop new leaders and strategic constituencies. This includes training and coaching grassroots leaders in organizing fundamentals, such as running effective public meetings, cutting issues, gaining media coverage and impactful communications.
    • Be actively meeting and engaging with a broad range of people in rural communities.
    • This work will emphasize in-person connections, including one-to-one and in-person meetings, to build power among people who are often left out of decision-making that impacts their lives.

    • Campaigns and Organizing leadership: Ability to plan, execute, and adapt campaign strategies in changing contexts. This includes strong strategic thinking and decision-making skills.
    • Training and Leadership Development: Experience training and developing community members in organizing, power building, community advocacy and/or influencing policy.
    • Systems-based approach: Familiarity and comfort with systems-based approaches to change.
    • Experience working with older people.

    Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

    • Strong Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, distilling complex ideas into clear, compelling messages. Good conversation and interpersonal communication skills.
    • Interpersonal skills: Experience building relationships and engaging effectively with people from various generational, ethnic, racial, socio-economic, educational, and religious backgrounds, as well as people of various physical abilities, sexual orientations, and gender identities
    • Basic computer skills (Google Suite, Zoom, ability to learn and utilize organizational database functions for organizing). Experience using social media for organizing is a plus.
    • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
    • Commitment to meeting people where they are at.
