For Seniors: Progressive Presidential Election Campaign Job Opportunities

On Campus Information Session – Jobs to Win Back the White House!

Monday (3/24) at 6pm

University Center, York Room

Americans are hungry for change and energized by politics like never before, and now is the time to convert that energy into concrete results. We must expand our majorities in Congress and win back the White House if we want to combat global warming, increase access to higher education, provide healthcare for all Americans, end corruption in Washington, and change course in Iraq. We also need to build people-powered organizations that will keep our elected leaders focused on solving these important problems in years to come.

Grassroots Campaigns is running a state-of-the-art voter mobilization effort in 2008 to take back the White House, expand majorities in the Senate and Congress, and work to erase the Bush legacy. Our current clients include MoveOn.org Political Action, the ACLU and the National Democratic Party.

We are hiring graduating seniors with leadership experience for paid election campaign positions nationwide. Not a Senior? Summer jobs available for across the country. Sarah (888)999-8852 to apply. And check out www.bringchange2008.org to find out more information.

We are looking for passionate, dedicated, responsible people who are willing to work hard to achieve positive change. We need goal-oriented, results-driven candidates with leadership ability, good communication skills, and a strong commitment to social change. Candidates need to be strategic, team players, able to work with and motivate a wide range of people, and able to tell a compelling story. Prior political field work is not a requirement; we provide apprenticeship and experience to strong entry-level candidates who are looking for a way to start making a difference through grassroots politics. However, relevant experience is an asset and may qualify applicants for additional leadership responsibility.

To Apply, Send Resume to:
