We are currently recruiting new co-organizers for the DC chapter of the Action Corps. This is a rewarding volunteer position that allows the individuals to cultivate their leadership skills and creativity, all while fighting global poverty and hunger.
Action Corps DC is a national, volunteer-led, grassroots effort to fight poverty, hunger, and injustice around the world. We make it our mission to educate the community on global campaigns and initiatives that many times are life changing to those with a voice. We have worked on the Green Climate Fund, the refugee crisis, American poultry works, women cocoa farmers, food aid reform, and many many others. We table at local events and concerts, plan our own events, and send communications and requests to legislators and corporations insisting upon better practices and reform. We’re not a stiff group; we try to have fun, but still take our work and efforts very seriously.
As a co-organizer, you would lead the monthly meetings, maintain the email accounts, tell people what to do J, and just help keep us on track. We have core volunteers who will be there every step of the way, including our current organizers who have been leading for 2.5 years. But it’s important to turn over leadership to ensure that vitality, creativity, and vision remains strong.
Most of the responsibilities would be remote, but you do need to attend events within the city at least monthly.
