An Inside Look at the Oxfam Organizer

The Oxfam Bay Area Action Corps hosts an array of events and activities throughout the year, but ever wonder who's behind the scenes pulling these events together?

Introducing the Oxfam Bay Area Organizers, dedicated volunteers working directly with Oxfam America's largest office to rekindle hands on advocacy for food justice, small-scale farmer empowerment, social justice and gender equality.

Organizers handle everything from social media and volunteer relations to strategic alliances and event management. Every tablng opportunity, lobby visit with elected officials, volunteer work day and speaker event is shaped by the passion and eclectic experience that each Organizer brings to the table.

Members of the organizing team have exclusive access to a national network of fellow Organizers, support from Oxfam America senior staff and comprehensive skill training with an all expenses paid trip to Washington, DC for a 4-day leadership workshop. If this sounds like your kind of gig, your in luck because we're now recruiting for 2014 Organizers.

With the February 14th deadline approaching, all interested parties with a desire to help create lasting solutions to hunger and poverty are encouraged to apply.
