Employee Type: Permanent; Full-Time

Reports To: DMV Chapter Co-Director

Department: Organizing/Field

Entity: NDWA

Hours per Week: 40

Salary: $74,300 - 77,694 DOE

Work Location: Hybrid - some time working in DC remotely, some time in DC office and some time in the field in the DMV area

BACKGROUND:

The National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) is the leading national voice for dignity, respect, and recognition for domestic workers in the United States. NDWA was founded in 2007 by organizers and worker leaders in six cities representing nannies, house cleaners, and care workers, and now represents an alliance of more than 76 organizations across 22 states and 395,000 domestic workers nationally.

We envision a society where domestic work is valued as essential to our collective well-being, domestic workers are leaders in shaping the care sector, and domestic work jobs are good, economically secure jobs.

For over 15 years, we’ve worked to advance our mission by making domestic work visible. We’ve worked to pass policies that enable rights and higher wages for domestic workers across the country, change public awareness and opinion about the dignity and value of care work, and build the capacity and leadership of domestic workers to organize and advocate for their rights.

The National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) launched a local chapter in the DMV (DC, Maryland and Virginia) area in 2017 to engage the 47,000 estimated domestic workers who live in the area. The DMV Chapter is a multiracial, multilingual group of nannies, house cleaners, and home care workers and is a member-led organization with leadership structures to ensure worker voice and decision making at every level of our work.

From 2018-2022, the chapter campaigned for a DC Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, which passed in December of 2022, winning new rights and protections for all domestic workers employed in DC. In 2021 the chapter campaigned for and won a Domestic Workers Bill of Rights in Virginia, in partnership with NDWA’s 501(c)(4) sister organization, Care in Action, and won new laws in 2024 and 2025 to lay the groundwork for improved working conditions for homecare workers in Maryland.

Our primary program areas include member-led organizing to win new legislation to improve the conditions of domestic work jobs; enforcement of existing workplace laws through outreach, education, and filing claims to local enforcement agencies; trainings and other workforce development opportunities; extensive grassroots outreach to new worker contacts and programs to develop the organizing and leadership skills of chapter members.
