Volunteer Jobs in Foley, AL (NOW HIRING)

NOTE: The ideal candidate for this position will be located in either Broward, Miami-Dade, Duval, Palm Beach, Hillsborough, or Orange.

Florida families are paying more for housing, insurance, groceries, and gas than ever before. Access to a quality education has been gutted while Republicans play politics with our schools. It's imperative that we elect leaders who will fight to right the course.

Florida is at an inflection point. After years of being written off nationally, Florida Democrats are running ahead of the national environment. We've flipped 30 seats from red to blue since 2024, and we have a real opening to win up and down the ballot this November. We're not wasting it.

This position will be in a key target county, with goals centered on engaging Black voters through community-based organizing, volunteer recruitment, and Vote-by-Mail enrollment in priority communities. The Black Constituency Organizer will lead the development and execution of Black voter engagement strategies by identifying meaningful opportunities to organize within Black communities, coordinating regional organizing efforts around those opportunities, and supporting Black voter programming statewide.

The Black Constituency Organizer will join our growing organizing team and serve as the statewide lead for Black constituency organizing. This role is responsible for developing community engagement strategies, coordinating organizing efforts around key cultural and civic events, building volunteer leadership pipelines, and ensuring Black voter engagement programs are scalable and sustainable. This position reports to the Statewide Field Director and works in close partnership with Regional Field Organizers, local Democratic organizations, constituency leaders, and the FDP Data Department.
