Why This Role Matters

As a Community Organizer, you will play a key role in advancing Planned Parenthood South Atlantic's (PPSAT) mission by building grassroots power and mobilizing supporters throughout Virginia, with a focus on the Charlottesville and Roanoke communities. You'll cultivate meaningful relationships with volunteers, community leaders, and coalition partners while driving advocacy, civic engagement, and electoral efforts that protect and expand access to sexual and reproductive health care. This is an exciting opportunity to organize year-round campaigns that create lasting community impact and help elect leaders who champion reproductive freedom.

  • At least two years of paid or volunteer grassroots organizing experience.
  • Experience using organizing tactics such as canvassing, phone banking, relational organizing, and volunteer mobilization.
  • The ability to organize effectively in fast-paced, deadline-driven, or rapid-response environments.
  • Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills with the ability to engage diverse communities.
  • Confidence in public speaking and representing an organization in community settings.
  • Excellent organizational, time management, and project management skills.
  • The ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with a cross-functional team.

  • Represent PPSAT throughout your assigned communities at meetings, events, and public forums.
  • Identify community needs and independently develop organizing plans that support PPSAT's mission.

Advocacy & Electoral Organizing

  • Support local, state, and federal advocacy campaigns focused on reproductive health, rights, and justice.
  • Organize rapid-response actions, rallies, lobby days, and other advocacy events.
  • Participate in legislative activities during General Assembly sessions, helping connect constituents with elected officials and supporting policy initiatives.
