This commitment is beyond that of one of our regular volunteers. An organizer takes a consistent leadership role in grassroots advocacy and outreach, recruiting volunteers for events and activities, such as house parties and visits with elected officials and business leaders. Organizers receive ongoing training and coaching from dedicated Oxfam staff. They commit to one year of volunteer service, giving approximately 8-10 hours/week. People who apply to be organizers are eligible for selection to attend a high-quality, free 4-day training and day of lobbying in Washington, DC from Saturday, April 5 – Tuesday, April 8 (spaces limited to two people per city). Travel and accommodation are provided by Oxfam.
