Wisco Project: Campus Organizer

The Wisco Project:
Campus Organizer

Campus Organizers will work to energize, educate, and mobilize students on college campuses across Wisconsin. Campus Organizers should be willing to be scrappy and persistent in their pursuit to exceed goals and empower young people. The role will start early February and run through 11/15/2026, with a possibility of extension. This position will be based in Wisconsin and requires a significant amount of in-person work.

Campus Organizers are crucial to our success in 2026, and will work on the Organizing team to:

• Build trust with students and organizations on campus to create lasting infrastructures of empowerment on campus
• Recruit, train, and manage a team of student volunteers and paid fellows who will mobilize their peers and help create community on campus
• Use Direct Voter Contact (DVC) methods such as high-traffic canvassing, door knocking, tabling, text banking, phone banking, etc. to mobilize as many students as possible
• Facilitate the creativity of student volunteers/fellows, and help plan events that effectively engage students on campus
• All other duties as assigned

Who Are You?

• A passion for progressive politics and inspiring young people to get involved
• Be a self-starter, exceptionally well-organized, skillful problem solver, and have strong time management skills.
• Be eager to talk to as many students as possible (and be comfortable talking to a lot of strangers/potential volunteers).
• Be able to work weekends and irregular hours as required
• Have access to reliable transportation
• Previous experience organizing for an electoral campaign is a plus; previous experience with campus organizing is a bigger plus. Neither are required.

Compensation for this role is $5,000/month plus benefits. This is a full time role.
