Community College + Tech School Organizing Director, The Wisco Project

The Organization:

The Wisco Project is Wisconsin’s largest youth vote organization. We run large-scale organizing and digital programming to reach and mobilize students across the state. In 2026, we will seek to build on the work of previous cycles to run our strongest program yet and score progressive victories for students across the state. This will be a crucial year for Wisconsin and we are in need of talented, dedicated staff ready to take on this challenge with us!

What Will You Do?

We are looking for a Community College + Tech School Organizing Director to develop and manage organizing programming for Wisconsin’s Community Colleges and Technical Schools. Too often Campus Organizing programs either overlook two-year colleges or simply tack them on to programming designed for four-year schools — we are looking for someone to break this mold and successfully lead creative programming designed to optimize our impact on these campuses.

The Community College + Tech School Organizing Director role will manage at least 1-2 full time organizers and work directly with student fellows. This role reports directly to the Organizing Director. Successful candidates should be a skilled programmatic thinker who is passionate about campus organizing and understands the unique nature of Community Colleges and Technical Schools. The role will start mid-summer and run through 11/15/26, with a possibility of extension. This position will be based in either Madison, WI and requires a significant amount of in-person work. Supporter housing may be available.

Work with the Organizing Director to develop and implement a Community College + Technical School organizing plan
Manage full time organizers working on Community College + Technical School campuses
Work to recruit and train teams of student fellows and volunteers on Community College and Technical School campuses
Work with the Organizing Director to make strategic decisions and implement programmatic decisions to maximize impact
Build a team culture emphasizing collaboration, inclusion, and accountability
Work collaboratively with leaders of other departments, including Operations, Data, Voter Access, and Creative, as necessary to facilitate coordination
All other duties as assigned
