About The Position

The Brotherhood Sister Sol (BroSis) is seeking an educator and movement-builder who is deeply moved by the power of youth. This role is for someone who believes that organizing is an act of love—a way to arm young people with the critical literacy and tactical skills they need to transform their communities. Working in consultation with the Director of Organizing and reporting directly to the Liberation Program Coordinator, you will be part of a team working dedicated to developing the next generation of social justice grassroots change makers. You will hold space for youth (ages 14-18) to emerge as activists and community organizers. You along with your co-facilitator will guide them through the history of resistance while exploring, instilling them with strategies for modern campaigning. From building a curriculum that helps youth imagine a more just society to preparing them and leading them onto the front lines of local, state and national policy fights, you are their mentor, co-conspirator, and coach.
