MOVE Texas is dedicated to mobilizing, organizing, and empowering young people to participate in democracy. Since its founding in 2013, MOVE Texas has grown statewide to become a leading voter registration and civic engagement organization for young people in Texas. Our vision is to build the political power of young people to transform democracy and create space for the changes we need so that all Texans can thrive.

MOVE Texas is searching for 30 young leaders to develop into Community Captains—with the goal of having 15 in both Webb and Bexar County areas. Community Captains are grassroots volunteer leaders who help mobilize their communities around civic engagement. Building relationships with young people and infrequent voters, bringing new volunteers into organizing work, and hosting community events that encourage participation in civic life are essential responsibilities of a Community Captain.

Working closely with Campaign Organizers, Community Captains help grow local leadership and strengthen organizing efforts in targeted neighborhoods, campuses, and communities.

• Have 12 conversations per month with infrequent voters and community members within designated precincts or neighborhoods.
• Build relationships through one-on-one meetings and outreach.
• Host one community event every 6 weeks (financially supported MOVE Texas).
• Help recruit and engage new volunteers and volunteer leaders.
• Participate in statewide Days of Action and organizing activities.
• Track outreach following organizational data reporting standards.
• Eligible to receive a $200 monthly stipend.

• Must be legally eligible to work in the U.S. without sponsorship.
• Must be at least 16 years old. Parental consent is required to offer acceptance for minors.
• Passionate about strengthening civic participation in their communities.
• Willingness to connect with and mobilize young people ages 18–35.
• Comfortable talking to new people and building relationships.
• Reliable and able to commit 5–6 hours per month from July through December 2026.
• Organized and able to track conversations, events, and basic reporting.
• Ready to participate in trainings, check-ins, and statewide days of action.
• Commitment to MOVE’s mission of engaging young people to build power in our democracy.
