JOB ANNOUNCEMENT: COMMUNITY ORGANIZER,
BLOCKS TOGETHER
Blocks Together is hiring a full-time Community Organizer. We are
looking for a motivated self-starter with a strong commitment to
fighting for social justice on a grassroots level and an interest
growing with a direct action organizing group.
Blocks Together (BT) is a multi-issue, grassroots, direct-action
community organization made up of residents in the W. Humboldt and N.
Garfield Park communities on the west side of Chicago. BT's vision
for social justice directs the organization's development and
implementation of issue campaigns in the areas of education, housing,
and the rights of women, youth and the formerly incarcerated. Our
approach to leadership development balances traditional skill-based
organizing trainings with political education, providing a foundation
for members to understand, analyze, and confront the structures of
power that impact their lives.
Responsibilities:
The Community Organizer works with BT members and staff to develop
and implement organizing campaigns that address the issue of
affordable housing and displacement of low-income, Black and Latino
communities. Responsibilities include identification and recruitment
of new members, leadership development and training, political
education and curriculum development, research and analysis,
development of campaign strategy with members and staff, media
outreach, alliance building, coalition work, documentation and
evaluation.
Qualifications:
Enthusiasm working on a grassroots level in a vibrant multi-racial
neighborhood. Investment in exploring social change through direct
action organizing. Ability to learn and organize with a racial
justice lens. Interest in connecting global issues to local
community issues. Strong commitment to developing women's leadership
and the organization's capacity to work on women's issues. Commitment
to building an internal organizational structure that reflects BT's
social justice politics. Ability to work with a current multi-racial
staff of women. Can work independently and with a team. Willing to
work flexible hours, some evenings and weekends. Familiarity with
Microsoft Office and database systems helpful. Valid driver's
license required. Fluent Spanish writing and speaking skills strongly
preferred.
Salary:
Salary depends on experience. Benefits include generous vacation,
health, dental and pension plan.
To Apply:
Please send a resume and cover letter with 2 references to Blocks
Together: Hiring, via mail 3914 W. North Ave., Chicago IL 60647 or
email to blockstogether@riseup.net
Deadline for applications:

possible, so early submission suggested. For questions, please email
or call (773) 276-2194.
Blocks Together is an equal opportunity employer. People of color,
women, immigrants, and lesbians/gay/bisexual/transgendered people are
