NOW HIRING:
Development Manager at New Era Colorado

New Era Colorado's office is closed for the holidays starting Monday, December 22nd. Applicants can expect to hear back from us beginning the week of January 5th, 2026.

We are hiring a full-time Development Manager who will support our efforts by leading our monthly donor program and small-dollar revenue streams. You’ll do this through a variety of strategies, including organizing and planning events, leveraging our database of existing and previous donors, and crafting compelling fundraising campaigns. You’ll also grow our business partnerships and leverage them to raise money and expand our brand's reach.

You will work closely with the Development Director and will have extensive opportunities to expand your experience in nonprofit fundraising.

By growing our base of supporters, you’ll directly impact the effectiveness of our programs and help drive the progress on the Youth Agenda, including issues like abortion rights and economic justice. If you’re an outstanding communicator with excellent judgment and a rock-solid system of organization, we strongly encourage you to apply. Previous fundraising and event-planning experience is preferred, and a willingness and eagerness to learn are must-haves.

At New Era, we envision a Colorado where young people can thrive, share in abundance, and have the freedom to live their lives with dignity, free of historical systems of oppression. Young people are the most impacted by the challenges and issues we face today and have the capacity to lead us towards a more equitable future. And yet, young people are often shut out from the halls of power and ignored by elected officials.

That’s why at New Era, we organize young people to participate in the political process, develop as leaders, and find a political home.

Since our founding in 2006, we’ve registered nearly 250,000 young people to vote and turned our registrants out at some of the highest rates in the country. We’ve won on each of the issues we prioritize at the ballot box or the legislature (economic justice, abortion rights, climate change, and election access), and we’ve graduated hundreds of young people from our leadership development programs.

New Era alumni now serve in elected office and key positions of power across the state and country. Along the way, we've driven Colorado’s youth turnout to third in the country in 2020, and fourth in 2024. New Era is the leading voice for young people in Colorado politics, and together we demand progress on the Youth Agenda.
