Our Regional Organizers will manage Campus Fellows who are driving the Badger Youth Organizing (BYO) / Badger Youth Action (BYA) mission at key universities in the Northeastern region of Wisconsin. Managers will use independent judgment and general discretion to facilitate and ensure that Campus Fellows lead robust, on-the-ground civic engagement efforts focused on empowering young people, especially youth of color, to vote and take action on the issues they care about most.
This role will be responsible for overseeing and directing the campus program towards effective direct voter contact strategies, including canvassing, class presentations, club outreach, and tabling, to register and educate students, promote voter participation, and build a consistent visible presence for BYO/BYA on the priority campuses in the region and surrounding communities. The role will also lead key administrative duties, make decisions concerning event logistics for each campus event in coordination with Campus Fellows, participate in supporting campus organizational meetings, and coordinate social media channels to elevate civic content.
This role will have meaningful discretion to design, adapt, and execute a campus program that responds to the unique needs of their assigned region, while remaining aligned with and advancing BYO/BYA’s organizational goals, strategies, and priorities. Success will be measured by progress toward shared outcomes, while allowing flexibility to determine the most effective strategies for the local context.
The strongest candidates will be those who are energized by talking to new people, passionate about civic power, and eager to turn campuses into hubs of democratic participation. They will be bold, creative, and deeply committed to meeting students where they are, in dorms, clubs, classrooms, and beyond, and have experience leading successful organizing efforts.
