Bilingual -building and Leadership Development Organizer

About the Opportunity

Founded in 2016, Healing to Action is a young, dynamic organization that is creating a new model of survivor‑led organizing. Our mission is to end gender‑based violence through building the leadership and collective power of the communities most impacted‑survivors from Black, indigenous, immigrant, and communities of color; low‑income survivors; survivors with disabilities, immigrant survivors, and LGBTQ survivors. We combine organizing, healing justice, leadership development, and capacity‑building to collaborate with survivors in developing powerful solutions that address the intersections of gender‑based violence, racial oppression, and economic injustice.

HTA’s innovative model has gained distinction for putting power back in the hands of marginalized communities, and made a compelling case for the transformative change that survivors are uniquely positioned to lead.

Healing to Action is hiring a bilingual Base‑building and Leadership Development Organizer to support in developing a powerful network of leaders who can provide support to marginalized survivors and initiate creative grassroots campaigns to reduce the prevalence of gender‑based violence in their communities. The Organizer will combine strategies of peer support, base‑building and leadership development to build strong and thriving relationships between survivors in our Community Support Circle, recruit survivors from impacted communities to join HTA’s programs, and develop supportive resources to sustain survivors’ leadership in their communities.

This role will work closely with HTA’s Organizing Manager and Campaign Organizer to sustain survivors’ leadership in community‑based campaigns and ensure that HTA’s model of survivor‑led organizing is healing and transformative for all program participants.
