Civic Nation seeks an Associate Director of Campus Organizing for It’s On Us, who will lead development and implementation of a comprehensive national strategy for campus chapter and student leader recruitment and engagement. Reporting to the Executive Director of It's On Us, this position will take an intersectional approach to our campus organizing work, and ensure It’s On Us is meeting our goals around diversification of our campus chapter network and student leadership opportunities. The Associate Director of Campus Organizing will collaborate with the It’s On Us trainings team to ensure members of our campus chapters network are trained in our six core peer-to-peer sexual assault prevention education programs and activated in implementing our peer-to-peer model within their own campus communities.
ABOUT IT’S ON US
Founded in 2014 as an initiative of the Obama-Biden White House, It’s On Us is building a movement to combat campus sexual assault by engaging all students, including young men, and activating the largest student organizing program of its kind in prevention education programs. With more than 300+ college campus chapters, our work is grounded in a peer-to-peer sexual assault prevention education model that empowers students to teach one another sexual assault awareness and consent education, bystander intervention, and survivor support.
It’s On Us envisions a world where all college students are equipped to recognize that nonconsensual sexual activity is sexual assault, to identify situations in which sexual assault may occur, to intervene in situations where consent has not or cannot be given, and to create an environment in which sexual assault is unacceptable and survivors are supported.
It’s On Us is the only program of its kind to combine grassroots organizing with high-impact culture change campaigns through partnerships with media outlets, creative agencies, and influencers such as MTV, Comedy Central, Cosmopolitan, and Esquire. Through these partnerships, we reach millions of young people with critical prevention and associated messaging.
