Founded in 2016, For Our Future Action Fund (FOFAF) and For Our Future (FOF) run a year-round progressive field program across battleground states, focused on engaging voters on economic issues facing working families. Our mission is to elevate and advance economic justice by organizing voters around a pro-union, economic agenda and to elect pro-worker candidates. Along with community partners and volunteers, we consistently engage with people in face-to-face conversations around socio-economic issues, encouraging them to take action on issues and in elections. By organizing people in lasting relationships, we win elections, pass progressive policies, drive local progress, make a community’s collective voice heard, and help build the transformative power needed to improve people’s lives.

You will serve as a coach to develop regional directors and advance programs across regions. We are looking for someone with initiative, strong communication, and cross-collaboration skills to cut across silos to ensure information sharing between partners and allies, achieve program deliverables, and advance organizational interests, values, and priorities.
