Campus Organizer, NEPA
About The Position
Project 26 Pennsylvania (P26 PA) is dedicated to mobilizing Pennsylvania students to counter far-right political actions and foster a state where Gen Z can lead and thrive. The organization aims to organize and inspire thousands of PA youth to vote in the 2026 Primary and General Elections. This role is unconventional, focusing on in-person engagement with young people on campuses and in communities, managing teams, and building lasting relationships with networks, rather than traditional office-based tasks. The position requires creativity, grit, and a startup mentality to empower young people for future elections.
Requirements
- Thrive in fast-changing environments and know how to stay focused even when circumstances feel uncertain.
- Are excited and eager to talk with lots of students (and are especially comfortable cold-approaching strangers).
- Are creative and scrappy, with the instinct to problem-solve in real time.
- Have a passion for empowering young people to get involved in the political process.
- Are a self-starter who is highly organized, manages time well, and can juggle multiple priorities without losing momentum.
- Can work weekends and irregular hours as required.
- Have a driver's license and access to a reliable car.
- Live near (or are willing to relocate to) one of our focus campuses.
