ORGANIZING CORPS 2020 recruits first-time organizers and trains them on the skills they need to get a paid, full-time job working on the 2020 Democratic Presidential campaign to help put a Democrat in the White House and win up and down the ticket on November 3, 2020.
We’re recruiting, training, and compensating 1,000 organizers in eight battleground states—Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—to work on the 2020 general election and help Democrats win up and down the ticket. No prior organizing experience is needed; you bring the passion for change, and we’ll bring the skills you need to make it happen: voter contact, volunteer management, digital strategy, data analytics, and more. After successfully completing an Organizing Corps training program, corps members get hired by the presidential campaign in the summer of 2020.
This May, Organizing Corps 2020 will offer intensive and interactive Virtual Bootcamps to prepare first-time organizers for campaign work in the quickly evolving remote organizing space.
Organizing Corps 2020’s Virtual Bootcamp is a 6-day intensive and interactive online training on campaign organizing. The program is designed for first-time organizers interested in joining the 2020 general election campaign as full-time campaign staff in AZ, FL, GA, MI, MN, NC, PA & WI.
HOW IT WORKS:
STEP 1: Complete TRAINING and receive a STIPEND at one of Organizing Corps 2020’s Virtual Bootcamps in May.
STEP 2: GET HIRED by the presidential campaign as a full-time, paid organizer in June of 2020 with the direct support of Organizing Corps 2020.
STEP 3: LAUNCH YOUR CAREER in June and help win back the White House, elect Democrats, and change the direction of this country on November 3, 2020.
