2026 - 2027 Campus Organizer

Campus Organizer Job Description

Mobilize. Organize. Vote. Empower. MOVE Texas was founded in 2013 as MOVE UTSA by a small group of dedicated students at The University Of Texas At San Antonio to increase participation in local elections. Since then MOVE Texas has gone statewide to become one of the most effective voter registration and engagement groups for young people in the state. Our vision is to build the political power of young people to transform democracy in Texas and beyond.

We are building the next generation of Texas leadership by teaching critical organizing skills to take them from voters to effective, lifelong organizers. Our theory of change is simple: develop new leaders, educate voters and create space for the changes we need to make so that our state can be a place where all Texans can thrive.

Across our state, young people care deeply about the issues shaping our lives, and the chapter program is how we support people turning that energy into action. As MOVE Texas grows its chapter network, more people are stepping up to organize the youth movement both in their communities and on campuses across Texas. MOVE started as a student-led chapter on a single college campus, built on a simple idea: that if young people organize each other, we can change the future of Texas.

That belief still guides us today.

MOVE Texas is looking for fifteen (15) Campus Organizers to join our team to help build a MOVE Texas chapter on your campus. Campus Organizers are student leaders who are ready to bring people together, organize their peers to build and leverage collective power, and help shape the kind of future young Texans deserve in our communities and across our state.

As a Campus Organizer, you'll help strengthen your campus chapter while connecting to a statewide network of young people who are working together to shape the future of our state. Campus Organizers recruit and welcome new members, host events, develop local campaigns, and create spaces where young people can talk about the issues they care about, build community, and take action together.
