Hello,
Social Justice Leadership is beginning recruitment for the next cycle of
the Activate! Community Organizing Fellowship. Activate! provides
fellows with intensive training in transformative community organizing,
and a four month placement at one of NYC's most effective community
organizations. The fellowship will help participants learn to build
leadership and power in low income communities and communities of color
to win local changes, and to build a movement for broader change in our
country and beyond. We're looking for people who trust community
leadership, who have the passion and dedication to work long hours doing
street organizing, and who want to be in this work for the long haul to
build a grassroots movement for social justice.
The details are in the attached flier. If you know of people who might
be strong candidates, please pass this along to them.
Thanks for your help!

Applications are due before February 15, 2008
Interviews start in early February – apply early
Activate! is a four month fellowship that provides an intensive
introduction to transformative community organizing to people who want to
make a career of helping disenfranchised communities unite to fight for
social justice. The Fellowship is part of a New York City-based collective
training and movement-building effort known as the Transformative
Organizing Initiative. Activate! will help fellows learn to build
leadership and power in low income communities and communities of color to
win local changes, and to build a movement for broader change in our
country and beyond. We're looking for people who trust community
leadership, who have the passion and dedication to work long hours doing
street organizing, and who want to be in this work for the long haul to
build a grassroots movement for social justice.
Activate! is designed to create a new generation of community organizers
with the skills, analysis, competencies, and relationships to lead a
renewed social justice movement. It is for community leaders and members
of community organizations who want to become staff organizers. And it's
for people from oppressed communities who want to step up to become part of
a vibrant community organizing movement. Fellows receive training in
community organizing, high performance work skills, relationship building,
personal balance and ecology, and political education and movement
building. Fellows are placed as full-time organizers with one of a dozen
New York City grassroots social justice organizations that are members of
the Transformative Organizing Initiative. Host organizations in the last
Activate! cycle included Families for Freedom, Families United for Racial
and Economic Equality (FUREE), the Latin American Integration Center, Make
the Road by Walking, Mothers on the Move (MOM), New York Jobs with Justice,
and Public Housing Residents of the Lower East Side (PHROLES). Fellows who
successfully complete the program will be assisted in obtaining a full-time
placement at a host organization or other respected community or labor
organization.
Social Justice Leadership seeks applicants for the Spring 2008 cycle of
Activate! who have some experience in grassroots community organizing, have
a demonstrated passion for grassroots social justice, are reflective
leaders willing to take risks, are hard workers with high standards, speak
Spanish or other languages prevalent in New York City's low income
communities, and seek a long-term career in organizing. Admission is
through a written application and a group interview process. Written
applications must be submitted by February 15, 2008. The full-day group
interview session will be held on March 8, 2008.
