[Hiring] Campus Organizer @CMMB

Role Description

The Campus Organizer/Faithful Action reaches and engages a network of student leaders and campus-based faith communities in support of a critical part of CMMB's global health priorities – maternal and child health. This role is responsible for:

• Recruiting and developing student and faith-sector volunteers.
• Forging partnerships particularly with Catholic campus ministries, interfaith centers, and student organizations.
• Translating grassroots energy into visible activity and action, such as information-sharing town halls, student activism, letter-writing, and campus events.
• Working within a community of maternal and child health mobilization teams beyond CMMB.
• Reporting on progress on campus and in the broader community toward shared advocacy and coalition-building goals.

This is a self-reliant, entrepreneurial engagement role. The ideal candidate is comfortable developing a plan for campus outreach and engagement from the ground up, managing their own schedule and travel across a portfolio of campuses, and representing the organization and the issue independently.

Key Responsibilities

• Recruit, train, and manage student volunteer leaders and campus action teams.
• Develop and steward relationships with faith communities to engage people of faith as advocates for global health and poverty-reduction priorities.
• Build and coordinate coalitions of student organizations, faith groups, and community partners around shared advocacy goals.
• Plan and execute on-campus events and actions that generate increased knowledge of and commitment to women and children’s health.
• Represent the organization at campus events, conferences, interfaith gatherings, and partner meetings.
• Track and report volunteer engagement, coalition growth, and advocacy actions using the organization's CRM/volunteer database.
• Collaborate with communications, policy, and other regional mobilizers among allied organizations.
• Manage a travel-intensive schedule across an assigned region or portfolio of campuses.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• 5 years of experience with growing responsibility and project management experience.
• Demonstrated experience in grassroots organizing, volunteer mobilization, campus organizing, ideally with faith-based communities.
• Track record of building relationships and coalitions across diverse constituencies.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; comfort with public speaking.
• Highly self-directed: able to set goals and manage a variable schedule.
• Cultural competence and genuine comfort engaging across a range of faith traditions and campus communities.
• Willingness and ability to travel regularly, including some evenings and weekends for events.

Preferred

• Experience with issue-based advocacy campaigns.
• Existing relationships with campus ministries, interfaith networks, or student advocacy organizations.
• Familiarity with volunteer/CRM databases and digital organizing tools.
• Experience working with grant-funded or foundation-supported programs and associated reporting requirements.
• Residence located near major airport hub cities given significant travel requirements.

What Success Looks Like

• A busy dance card of campus visits across 8 states to engage with campus ministries and student groups.
• A signature engagement activity that appeals to college students.
• Measurable advocacy actions delivered against shared team targets.
• Strong, durable relationships with campus and faith stakeholders.
• Semi-annual stock taking about what is working and gaining traction.
