- Organize opportunities for members to take leadership in movement-building work
- Develop and facilitate meetings, teach-ins, and training opportunities for WFP activists
- Plan action opportunities, including in-person events, phone/text banks, and canvasses that can grow WFP membership through supporting candidates or priority issues
- Build relationships with coalitions and partner organizations that align with WFP or Working Families Power goals
- Support WFP membership engagement in candidate endorsement processes and member representation on the State Committee
- Raise funds to drive RIWFP's work
- Set and meet annual dues and member recruitment goals
- Organize and staff occasional events, such as house parties, in coordination with fundraising activities led by the State Director
- Other duties as assigned by the State Director
Required
