Position: Omaha Community Organizer

Location: Omaha Nebraska, work is mostly remote

Hours: 20 hours per week

To Apply: Send your resume three references, and answers to the provided questions to nfpstate@nebraskansforpeace.org
 

Overview of position:
 

Nebraskans for Peace is hiring for an Omaha Community Organizer. NFP is the oldest statewide Peace and Justice organization in the country with a 55-year long history of advocating both locally and nationally. Currently NFP has 3 issue areas: Anti-war and International Law; Social Justice; and Environment, Food Security and Conflict Prevention. Applicants should have intermediate knowledge or willingness to learn about these three areas.
 

The Omaha Community Organizer will work to identify underrepresented community groups in Omaha; mobilize and empower community members; collectively identify the needs of the communities in Omaha in relation to the priorities outlined in the NFP Priority Plan. Meeting these goals includes holding community conversations through community outreach, fundraising for the organization including direct outreach to our membership, helping to facilitate the Omaha Chapter meetings, developing a list of Omaha contacts, and attending community events that align with NFP’s mission and attending NFP events. This position will require making calls to NFP members, updating the database, and other tasks that support the infrastructure of the organization. Because much of the activity of the NFP Omaha chapter focuses on the work of the Palestinian Rights Task Force (PRTF), it is important that the organizer be familiar with the issues that the PRTF takes on with the strong pro-Palestinian Rights position of the Task force.
 

The applicant will be required to attend bi-monthly NFP board meetings and at least one monthly Priority Committee meeting, both in-person and by Zoom, as well as the Annual Peace Conference, which is held once a year.
 

The Community Organizer reports directly to the Executive Director of NFP and will receive an annual review. This is a part-time position of 20 hours a week, with an annual salary of $20,500, with the potential to move up to 30 hours next year. Applicants should have basic technological skills, including Microsoft Word, Excel, CRM database, Google and Google Docs, social media, and should be comfortable working with the public and the media.
 

To apply, please send your resume, answers to the four provided questions, and three references to Brittany Cooper NFP Executive Director at nfpstate@nebraskansforpeace.org with “Omaha Community Organizer” in the subject line.
