'Sota Project

Campus Organizer Job Description

The 'Sota Project is Minnesota's home for students who are ready to challenge attacks on our futures and build a Minnesota where Gen Z can lead and thrive. We are building a large-scale organizing and digital programming to reach and mobilize students across the state.

The outcome of Minnesota's elections this year will be critical. Young Minnesotans will have the opportunity to elect leaders who will be instrumental in reshaping a government that works for young people. With over 90 colleges and universities in Minnesota and hundreds of thousands of student voters, Gen Z has the numbers and the power to determine the outcomes of these elections.

The 'Sota Project will empower students to be leaders in their communities through voter registration, education, peer-to-peer outreach, and turnout efforts that reach students on campuses across the state.

We're building a scrappy and innovative operation to protect and expand democracy by elevating youth leadership across Minnesota — inspiring thousands of college students to take control of their futures, get organized, and vote.

This will be a crucial year for Minnesota, and we are in need of talented, dedicated staff ready to take on this challenge with us.

Field Organizers are the core engine driving our campus ground game. You will own a regional turf, implementing our field strategy to register, educate, and mobilize young voters. You will be responsible for executing the campaign's "class rap" strategy, running high-energy campus events, and building lasting student volunteer pipelines. You will directly manage a cohort of student Fall Fellows and volunteer teams, helping them execute campus-specific action plans.

This role reports to a Regional Organizing Director (ROD) and begins with a comprehensive, full-week paid training bootcamp.

• Drive the Campus Ground Game: Execute daily direct voter contact on your turf through dorm storming, off-campus student apartment outreach, high-traffic campus tabling, phone banking, and relational voter contact.

• Execute the Class Rap Strategy: Build a network of faculty relationships to secure lecture hall presentation access, with a target of securing at least 8 confirmed class rap commitments per priority campus for September.

• Manage and Develop Student Leaders: Manage a team of Fall Fellows on your campuses, running weekly 1:1 coaching sessions to move volunteers up the leadership ladder.

• Lead "Block Party" Welcome Week Activations: Plan and run high-visibility campus Welcome Week events.

• Maintain Strict Voter Protection & Quality Control: Implement our 5-step Voter Registration Quality Control pipeline (including on-the-spot reviews and forms tracking) to ensure compliance with Minnesota absentee, online, and same-day registration rules.

• Own Regional Data: Serve as a data steward by managing the cleanliness of your regional file, running Every Action/VAN reports, and tracking weekly field metrics.

A successful candidate for this role will:

• Natural Relationship Builder: You are comfortable with cold outreach to faculty and student groups, and you know how to pitch a 3-minute conversation arc that converts students into active volunteers.

• Scrappy & Adaptive: You thrive in fast-paced environments, possess a bias toward action, and are comfortable navigating evolving campus access policies.

• Data & Goal-Oriented: You understand that hiring pipelines, shift tracking, and list hygiene are what win tight elections.

• Mission-Driven: You possess a deep commitment to Gen Z youth leadership, progressive politics, and expanding democracy.

• Ready to Move: You have a driver's license and…
