What are the responsibilities and job description for the Community Organizer position at Shalom Alliance?
About Us
Shalom Alliance is on a mission to empower Vermont schools and communities to recognize and respond to antisemitism. We’re looking for a Community Organizer who can channel their inner Moses, not with swords and shields, but with relationships, advocacy, and grassroots organizing.
What You’ll Do
- Rally parents, students, teachers, synagogues, and allies across Vermont.
- Recruit and train volunteer leaders to take action in their schools and towns.
- Lead grassroots campaigns at the school board, municipal, and state levels (think town halls, not battlefields).
- Mobilize our Shalom Circles to meet with elected officials, testify at hearings, and take meaningful civic action.
- Organize community events, workshops, and the occasional rapid-response gathering.
- Keep the story moving through newsletters, social media, and action alerts.
Who You Are
- Passionate about Jewish life, justice, and community safety.
- Experienced in organizing, advocacy, or campaigns (you know how to rally the troops).
- A people-person who builds trust and connections easily.
- A self-starter who can juggle multiple priorities.
- Familiar with Vermont’s civic, educational, or interfaith landscape (bonus points).
- Comfortable with digital tools (Zoom, Google Workspace, social media).
The Details
- Schedule: 20 hours/week, flexible (some evenings/weekends). Must enjoy visiting in person with people throughout Vermont.
- Compensation: $30,000
- Location: Vermont (hybrid – remote and in-person as needed).
- Opportunity to grow with the organization as our movement expands.
