2026 Organizing Directors

Empower 2026 Organizing Directors

Employment Type: Full Time
Minimum Experience: Management

About Us

Empower Project is the national leader in both paid and volunteer relational organizing.

Empower Project organizes to improve people’s lives using the power of relational organizing. Together with our partners, we’ve helped boost voter turnout, especially for BIPOC communities, through our approach of tapping into personal networks of friends and family. We provide the software and expertise to help communities, progressive organizations, and nonprofits leverage their personal relationships to build power and dramatically expand the electorate. Our cutting-edge technology, Empower, stands at the forefront of the industry and is trusted by over 1,500 organizations nationwide.

It’s effective. Empower has been studied in nine different independently-run, randomly controlled trials which all found that its usage led to large and statistically significant increases in voter turnout — far more effective than phone-banking, text-banking, or door-to-door canvassing.

It’s growing fast. The number of conversations Empower facilitated grew by over 10x between the 2016 and 2018 election cycles, grew by 10x again in the 2020 election cycle, and then grew by 30x for the 2024 election cycle. In order to keep up that pace going forward, we need to grow our team and keep adding features that help our organizations!

About CeaseFirePA Education Fund
CeaseFirePA is dedicated to ending the epidemic of gun violence in Pennsylvania. Our goal is simple: everyone in the Commonwealth should live in safe communities. Gun violence, in any form, makes that an impossible reality.

Description
Gun Violence shatters lives across Pennsylvania every day – from firearm suicides in rural communities to unintentional shootings and street violence in our cities. Behind each tragedy is a story, and too often, a policy failure that allowed it to happen.  CeaseFirePA is leading a statewide movement to end this epidemic.

CeaseFirePA is seeking a dynamic leader to drive our public policy and government affairs strategy. As our lead lobbyist, you’ll build bipartisan relationships, advance life-saving gun safety laws, and secure resources to strengthen communities. Partnering with the Executive Director, you’ll shape policy solutions to make Pennsylvania one of the 10 safest states in the nation.

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Navigates complex political landscapes with resilience and creativity.
  • Thrives in a collaborative team, champions equity and models our values in every interaction, serving as a culture ambassador across communities.

More on CeaseFirePA:

CeaseFirePA’s goal is simple: everyone in the Commonwealth should live in safe communities where they feel and are safe. Gun violence, in any form, makes that an impossible reality, taking the lives of nearly 1,900 Pennsylvanians every year with thousands more living with the damage of a bullet wound. Shootings have broken the peace in cities from Erie to Reading to Philadelphia. And the fear of the next mass shooting at a school, grocery store or place of worship, has altered the fabric of daily life.

Over more than two decades, CeaseFirePA has expanded background checks, disarmed abusers, won $180 million for community-based violence prevention programs, and launched powerful coalitions standing against gun violence. We have become Pennsylvania’s leading organization working to end this public health crisis as we fight illegal trafficking, boost funding for safer communities, and save the next life from suicide.

Responsibilities:

You will work with the Executive Director to create a policy road-map to reduce gun violence in all its forms. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Guiding the development and implementation of advocacy strategies at the state and local level to reduce gun violence;
  • Leading CeaseFirePA lobbying work in the General Assembly including building relationships with legislators, recruiting support for policy initiatives, identifying opportunities for action, and providing strategic insight for the organizing team;
  • Crafting compelling messaging materials including reports, briefs, and fact sheets that connect key solutions to the experience of gun violence across the Commonwealth;
  • Developing collaborative approaches among other advocacy organizations to identify common policy approaches that will reduce violence;
  • Serving on the organization’s leadership team, contributing to the overall direction of CeaseFirePA’s life-saving work.
  • Supporting organizational fundraising and hiring initiatives as needed.

QUALIFICATIONS

Key qualifications:

  • You have at least 7 years of experience in advocacy and public policy, ideally including  developing policy, working on advocacy campaigns, and lobbying decision-makers;
  • You have advanced policy through advocacy campaigns, identifying legislative targets, and developing and executing strategies.
  • You have experience aligning advocacy campaigns using public engagement and pressure with persuasive lobbying efforts to accelerate policy change;
  • You can evaluate legislation for equity and broader impact, develop persuasive talking points, and recommend strategic improvements;
  • You have strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to connect policy with the real-world impact of gun violence and serve as a public spokesperson.
  • You can set and achieve measurable goals through structured, step by step plans, and evaluate outcomes for continuous improvement;
  • You are an organized self-starter with the ability to  work independently, drive multiple projects, and launch new initiatives;

Preferred qualifications:

PLUS: You have experience working with the Pennsylvania General Assembly;
PLUS: Expertise in gun violence prevention, criminal justice reform or related issues preferred;

Details: 

  • This position is full-time, exempt.
  • Candidates must be based in the Harrisburg or Philadelphia area with regular travel to Harrisburg during session days and some travel to other regions of the state.
  • The salary for this position is $75,000-$90,000, depending on ability and experience.

Position Background

Rock Creek Conservancy (Conservancy), a non-profit environmental organization, seeks a Volunteer Program Manager to manage, enhance, and build our volunteer programs.

The Conservancy engages over 5,000 volunteers each year—from individuals who have just moved to the area and those who have lived here all their lives to schools and corporate groups. The Manager will help maintain and grow our volunteer base through robust volunteer programming and service opportunities using the Conservancy’s people-powered restoration model. Broadly, people-powered restoration uses a connection to Rock Creek to drive a stewardship ethic by providing a sense of community, an understanding of the needs of Rock Creek, a sense of agency, and a straightforward way to take action as a steward.

Rock Creek and its parks provide a variety of benefits to the over 500,000 people who live in the watershed. This includes health, environmental, and social benefits, such as improving physical and mental well-being, enhancing air and water quality, and fostering community connection. Similar to other urban watersheds, Rock Creek faces a suite of challenges including stormwater runoff pollution and invasive plants that negatively impact environmental and human health. As the Conservancy works towards a more healthy and thriving Rock Creek, engaging volunteers in this effort is critical. The Manager will play a key role in helping community members make meaningful connections with Rock Creek and providing opportunities for them to get involved. The Manager will have the opportunity to empower thousands of people in making a difference for Rock Creek and their local community.
