NextGen America mobilizes young people to vote in crucial elections to make progress on the issues facing our generation. Last year, we showed the world what can happen when young people take charge and speak out at the ballot box — and we’re not done yet. While Donald Trump and the Republican Party deny the climate crisis and drown young people in debt to prop up their wealthy donors and corporate interests — we’re taking action. If you’re collaborative, flexible and driven, we may be looking for you to join the NextGen America team to make a difference. Explore our openings below if you’re ready to take on our country’s biggest challenges. https://nextgenamerica.org/jobs/
