SOUTHERN REGIONAL ORGANIZER

Resource Generation (RG) is recruiting for a Southern Regional Organizer.

About us:

Resource Generation is a national multi-racial, membership-based organization mobilizing young people (age 18-35) with wealth and class privilege in the U.S. to become transformative leaders working towards equitable wealth, land, and power. The broader Resource Generation community includes people of all ages and class backgrounds who support the role that young people with wealth play in social change. RG has 18 chapters in cities around the U.S., and our chapters engage in base-building, political education programming, giving circles, engaging in local and national campaigns, and building local organizational relationships. Resource Generation is proud to have 1100+ dues-paying members who collectively made $100 million in pledges to social justice movements in 2022. RG is 95% funded by our members.

Resource Generation operates on a 32-hour work-week schedule (generally Monday-Thursday). We currently have 23 full-time staff and are a multi-class and multiracial team. We especially encourage those who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color; trans, non-binary, femmes, and gender non-conforming people; and people from poor and working-class backgrounds to apply.

Overview of role:

The ideal candidate is a community organizer who excels at building relationships with member leaders, is deeply committed to economic and racial justice, is passionate about building the leadership of others, and can excellently manage multiple projects and timelines. This candidate will support our base to move resources to social justice movements and participate in campaigns for systemic change.

The success of a chapter organizer is measured by the strength of our chapters. A strong chapter has a cohesive leadership team, takes action and makes an external impact, and recruits, retains and develops new members with a particular focus on building our base of young people of color with wealth, anti-racist, and anti-classist leadership development with our multiracial base, and building our base of young people with family foundations and who are high net wealth.

RG has Southern chapters in the North Carolina Triangle and Austin, TX, with emerging chapters in Asheville, NC; Nashville, TN and New Orleans, LA. Our Southern chapters are interested in developing regional identity, and there is also potential to organize on an at-large basis.

Resource Generation is a national non-profit organization mobilizing young people (age 18-35) with wealth and class privilege in the U.S. to become transformative leaders working towards equitable wealth, land, and power. The broader Resource Generation community includes people of all ages and class backgrounds who support young people with wealth’s role in social change. RG has a 20-person staff team and 18 chapters in cities around the U.S. Our chapters engage in base-building, political education programming, running giving circles, engaging in local and national campaigns, and building local organizational relationships.

  • Co-design infrastructure in their chapters and regions that can be leveraged in relationships with poor and working class-led organizations towards collective wins. In particular, build the capacity of chapters to participate in national and local issue campaigns.

This includes supporting member leaders in developing chapter resource mobilization goals, ensuring our organization moves money into movements, and supporting our collective priorities around resource mobilization.
