Experienced Community/Policy Organizer

Join us in building a grassroots movement of parent leaders – particularly parents from Black, Brown, and immigrant communities across Illinois – working for economic, racial, and social justice for families. Community Organizing and Family Issues (COFI) builds the leadership, power, and voice of parents in historically marginalized communities to fight for equity on behalf of their children and families.

COFI is looking for an experienced Organizer to support city and statewide policy campaigns – with an initial focus on early childhood and K-12 education. This position will inform statewide policy strategies in these issue areas and support local change-making campaigns guided by the needs and priorities of parent leaders in POWER-PAC IL. Candidates will be considered who want to learn and implement COFI’s organizing model, The COFI Way, and who have 3-5 years of organizing experience, with a strong preference for bilingual (Spanish/English) candidates.
