Weekend Advocate information

What is a weekend advocate?

Weekend Advocates are professionals who provide support, guidance, or representation to individuals or groups during weekends. They often work in social services, crisis intervention, domestic violence shelters, or advocacy organizations, ensuring help and resources are available outside of standard weekday hours. Their responsibilities may include crisis counseling, providing information about services, and connecting clients to resources. Weekend Advocates play a crucial role in ensuring continuous support for people in need, especially during times when regular office staff may not be available.

What are some common challenges weekend advocates face when balancing high caseloads with limited weekend resources?

Weekend Advocates often encounter high demand for support services while working with fewer onsite resources compared to weekdays. This can require creative problem-solving and strong time management as you coordinate care, communicate with offsite staff, and handle urgent situations. Building solid relationships with community partners and having a thorough understanding of local resources can help you address clients’ needs efficiently. Collaboration and clear documentation are also crucial for ensuring continuity of care when weekday staff return.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a weekend advocate, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Weekend Advocate, you typically need experience in crisis intervention, knowledge of community resources, and a background in social work or a related field. Familiarity with case management software, hotline systems, and confidentiality protocols is often required. Strong active listening, emotional resilience, and effective communication skills help advocates support clients in high-stress situations. These competencies ensure that clients receive timely, empathetic assistance and appropriate referrals during critical weekend hours.

Job description

U.S. PIRG is hiring a Federal Legislative Advocate to build support for and win policies that address problems that affect the quality of our health, our environment and our well-being. 

Ideal candidates are eager to work hard for a world where:
  • More of our things are reusable, repairable and recyclable, instead of single-use and designed for obsolescence. 
  • Decision makers choose conservation and renewable energy over fossil fuels. 
  • Economic incentives support food that nurtures us as well as the land, with fewer pesticides, antibiotics and other quick fixes.
  • Consumers are no longer threatened by unsafe products, hidden bank fees and surprise medical bills.
U.S. PIRG's Federal Legislative Advocate will work on campaigns to advance our vision and policy goals in Washington, DC. This position requires exercising discretion and independent judgment in making decisions in matters of significance. Responsibilities may include but are not limited to:
  • Advocacy: Build support for our campaigns in the halls of power. Lobby key decision-makers in Congress and federal agencies. Develop collaborative relationships with legislators and congressional staff on both sides of the aisle to advance our policy goals.
  • Outreach and coalition building: Recruit and work collaboratively with the many varied groups who support our campaigns. Work with farmers in Wyoming, conservation enthusiasts in Georgia, repair shop owners in Michigan and more. 
  • Communications and media outreach: Organize press events. Write materials for lawmakers, the public, and the media including opinion editorials, press releases, campaign action emails, factsheets, bill summaries, regulatory comments and presentations. 
  • Campaign strategy: Assess opportunities to build political support for our vision and goals through coalition-building, grassroots organizing, media coverage and message development.
  • Fundraise from foundations and individual donors to support our work.
  • Recruit and train new staff, interns and volunteers.
Candidates must have at least two years of relevant experience in advocacy, grassroots organizing, coalition building, legislative work and/or political campaigns and be:
  • Skilled in working with people with different views or backgrounds to accomplish shared goals.
  • An effective communicator with excellent writing and public speaking skills.
  • A creative and strategic thinker.
  • A good people-person and listener. 
  • Well-organized, able to work independently to achieve goals while balancing urgent and important needs.
  • Committed to our vision of building a new politics that faces today's challenges head on.
Compensation and Benefits
The starting target annual compensation range for someone with 2-8 years of relevant experience is $39,750-$55,000. Candidates on the lower end of directly relevant experience should expect to be on the lower end of this range; candidates on the higher end of relevant experience are likely to be on the higher end of this range. PIRG offers an excellent benefits package. Our benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents, time off, a commuter benefit program, a 401(k) plan with employer match, parental leave, long term disability insurance, and may include needs-based student loan assistance.
