What is a part time community organizer?

Part time community organizers are individuals who work with local groups or communities on a part-time basis to identify issues, mobilize resources, and advocate for social change. They often coordinate meetings, plan events, and help community members participate in decision-making processes. Their work may focus on areas such as housing, education, public health, or environmental justice, depending on the needs of the community. By working part time, they may balance their organizing responsibilities with other jobs, studies, or personal commitments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a part time community organizer?

To thrive as a Part Time Community Organizer, you need strong communication, relationship-building, and project management skills, often supported by experience in grassroots advocacy or community engagement. Familiarity with digital outreach tools, event planning platforms, and data management systems is commonly required. Exceptional interpersonal skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to motivate diverse groups set outstanding organizers apart. These competencies are vital for mobilizing communities, executing effective campaigns, and achieving collective goals.

How do part time community organizers typically balance multiple projects and community needs within limited working hours?

Part-time community organizers often manage several initiatives by prioritizing tasks based on urgency and community impact. They use strong organizational skills and clear communication to coordinate with volunteers, partner organizations, and stakeholders. Regular check-ins, detailed schedules, and leveraging digital collaboration tools help maximize efficiency. While the hours are limited, focusing on relationship-building and delegation allows organizers to create meaningful progress across projects.

Understanding these differences helps job seekers identify the role that best matches their skills and career goals.

Job description

Maine People's Alliance (MPA) is a community of Maine people, from all different backgrounds, who believe that we can live in a world where everyone has what they need, everyone contributes what they can, and nobody is left behind.
We are currently accepting applications for 4 part-time Community Organizing positions. MPA community organizers are responsible for helping the organization build a multi-racial, multi-class movement by recruiting new members, developing their leadership, and building a volunteer team that works to advance the priorities of the organization.
Specific responsibilities include:
  • Doing weekly recruitment of new MPA members;
  • Developing local activities, trainings, and committees (that are aligned with similar activities and committees in other regions, and with organizational campaigns) to provide meaningful volunteer opportunities for MPA members;
  • Identifying leadership potential in MPA volunteers, and developing work plans that provide opportunities for new skills and leadership growth;
  • Moving MPA members into powerful action at the state and national levels
  • Recruitment, development and support of Maine Small Business Coalition members
  • Weekly small dollar fundraising

A qualified applicant should possess:
  • A commitment to social justice and building the power of regular people to make change;
  • An understanding of the challenges that Mainers face;
  • Demonstrated ability to build relationships of trust and mutual respect that move people into action;
  • Problem-solving perspective and ability to work well in teams;
  • Ability to navigate obstacles, set priorities, and move forward multiple projects; and
  • A willingness to work flexible hours, including some evenings and occasional weekends, and to travel statewide.

Experience that is helpful but not necessary:
  • Direct, lived experience with injustice (of any kind) that anchors a desire for progressive social change;
  • Experience in door-to-door organizing, or with building rapport with members of the public (on the street, over the phone, at their doors, in customer service, etc.)
  • Conversational Spanish, French, Arabic, Portuguese or Somali;
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook; and
  • At least one year of community organizing experience or community-building work.

These positions could be hybrid or based out of MPA's Portland, Bangor or Lewiston offices and will report to MPA's Organizing Director, Genevieve Lysen.
The positions will focus on recruitment and organizing MPA members in one of the following regions:
  • York County
  • Western Maine
  • Cumberland County
  • Kennebec County

The role is part of the MPA staff union (Union Contract) and offers a competitive benefits package. The positions are temporary, ending December 31, 2026.
MPA is an equal opportunity employer, and we are committed to equity and inclusion. Core to our work is an understanding of the multiple ways in which society is constructed to disadvantage and marginalize people of color, LGBTQ people, immigrants, native peoples, women, low-income people, people with disabilities, and others. We believe that underrepresented and marginalized communities must be centered in the work we do and we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or from these communities.
