The best way to spend this summer

Donna --

Organizing for Action is looking for dedicated and talented people to join the Summer Organizing Fellowship, a three-month program that will train the next generation of OFA leaders.

You're getting this email because we think you know someone who could be a great fit -- maybe it's your friend or colleague, or maybe it's you!

Apply now -- or share this link -- to get started as an OFA summer fellow. We have a lot of spots to fill, and we're counting on you to help find the best candidates.

So many grassroots leaders got their start in a program just like this.

Summer organizing fellows will learn everything they need to know about organizing for change on both the national and local levels, and will play a major role in supporting and growing volunteer-led chapters across the country.

Organizing Fellows are especially critical right now. We have a real opportunity to pass so much of the agenda we fought for and Americans voted for last fall -- on comprehensive immigration reform, gun violence prevention, strengthening the middle class and much more. This summer is our chance to make real progress.

Fellows will work long hours, and these positions are unpaid. But if you're accepted, you'll come away with an invaluable set of skills -- like recruiting volunteers, working with the media, grassroots fundraising, and using digital tools -- and a network of friends and colleagues that will be lifelong assets.

Here's where to start the application. Fill it out, or forward this email to a friend or two, and we'll be in touch:

Thanks,

P.S. -- Organizing Fellows are of all ages and from all different backgrounds -- that's part of what makes the program so strong. So if you know someone who'd be perfect for this, regardless of experience, encourage them to apply today.
