Create data-driven charts, maps, and graphics for different target audiences
Write briefings that explain and draw insights from data and research

About Us and Our Philosophy
Breakthrough Greater Boston (BTGB) is a transformative college access and teacher training program. BTGB offers six years of academic enrichment and college preparation to middle school and high school students with high potential but limited opportunities. Simultaneously, BTGB recruits, trains and inspires a diverse cohort of high achieving college students to become the next generation of urban teachers. Leveraging a Students Teaching Students model, BTGB provides engaging, tuition-free academic programming during the summer and after school.

On average, more than 70% of our graduating teachers have gone on to pursue careers in education. After two decades of success at our original Cambridge site, BTGB embarked upon a significant program expansion and opened a second site in Boston in the summer of 2013 and a third site in Somerville in 2018. As an independent 501c3 nonprofit, Breakthrough Greater Boston is part of The Breakthrough Collaborative, a national educational movement working to improve educational outcomes for youth across 25 U.S. cities.

Title: Chispa National Deputy Director
Status: Exempt
Reports to: Chispa National Director
Positions Reporting to this Position: Chispa State Program Directors
Location: Flexible
General Description :
LCV believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.
Our over 2 million members, our volunteers and staff, and our more than 30 state affiliates (together, the Conservation Voter Movement) work for a more just and equitable democracy, where people—not polluters—determine our future. This movement is an influential national network with unparalleled influence in Washington, DC, in state capitals, and in communities around the country.
In 2014, LCV launched Chispa (“chispa” translates to “spark” in English), a program that relies on community organizing to build the voice and power of Latino families to influence the environmental policies and decisions that affect their lives. Through our programs in four states, our members have taken leadership in the fights to keep rooftop solar affordable and accessible and convert dirty diesel school buses to clean electric fleets, developed Latino and other people of color policymakers as champions on environmental issues, demonstrated to Spanish-language media that the environment is a priority issue for Latinx families, and built strong relationships with social justice and environmental groups alike.
Chispa is seeking a Deputy Director who is a senior-level organizer with extensive experience in management, base building and developing grassroots leaders through issue organizing campaigns. We are looking for a creative, motivated leader with a strong organizing background who is goal-driven and experienced in movement building.

Coordinate with LCV and state affiliate staff to ensure that Chispa’s work is integrated into LCV events and strategies including relationship building, media communications, and online actions.
Coordinate with our Civic Engagement program to integrate voter registration, get-out-the-vote and voting rights campaigns into the work of Chispa programs when relevant.
Draft and manage campaign and program plans and budgets.
Ensure compliance and reporting of all organizing-related activities working with Legal and Finance departments and, where appropriate, state LCVs.
Be part of the Community & Civic Engagement department’s management team, actively participate as a thought leader in the Conservation Voter Movement and contribute to building an inclusive organizational culture.
Qualifications :

Bilingual in English and Spanish preferred but not required. Familiarity with the IRS rules regarding 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), and PACs preferred.

General Description :
LCV believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.
Our over 2 million members, our volunteers and staff, and our more than 30 state affiliates (together, the Conservation Voter Movement) work for a more just and equitable democracy, where people—not polluters—determine our future. This movement is an influential national network with unparalleled influence in Washington, DC, in state capitals, and in communities around the country.
In 2014, LCV launched Chispa (“chispa” translates to “spark” in English), a program that relies on community organizing to build the voice and power of Latinx families to influence the environmental policies and decisions that affect their lives. Through our programs in four states - including Nevada - our members have taken leadership in the fights to keep rooftop solar affordable and accessible and convert dirty diesel school buses to clean electric fleets, developed Latino and other people of color policymakers as champions on environmental issues, demonstrated to Spanish-language media that the environment is a priority issue for Latinx families, and built strong relationships with social justice and environmental groups alike. With the Clean Buses for Healthy Niños campaign, Chispa Nevada has won victories at the state legislature and with the Governor supporting the shift from dirty diesel school buses to clean, zero-emission electric buses.

Outreach Fellow
The Texas Civil Rights Project (TCRP) partners with communities across Texas to serve the rising movement for social justice in three key areas: Voting Rights, Criminal Justice Reform, and Racial and Economic Justice. Whether through litigation, policy or other advocacy, the attorneys and staff at TCRP work to create a state where everyone can live with dignity, justice, and without fear. Our Voting Rights Program tackles the systemic issues that suppress democratic participation in Texas — from voter registration to the moment when an individual casts their ballot. Through litigation and advocacy, TCRP fights to turn the tide on the state’s abysmal voting rights record by removing barriers to voter registration, supporting grassroots voter mobilization efforts, and opposing new attempts to suppress voting.
As a critical element of that work, we are working to address Texas’s shameful history of racial and political gerrymandering. As Texas prepares to embark on a new round of redistricting in 2021, we are working with a statewide coalition to ensure fairness and transparency in the redistricting process. Our efforts will include community education, in English, Spanish, and other languages to inform the public about the redistricting process, building a base of energized communities ready to take action on Redistricting, and providing tools and resources so that more Texans can get involved in the process.
TCRP seeks a temporary Outreach Fellow dedicated to expanding our Redistricting efforts.

Full time
Outreach Fellow
The Texas Civil Rights Project (TCRP) partners with communities across Texas to serve the rising movement for social justice in three key areas: Voting Rights, Criminal Justice Reform, and Racial and Economic Justice. Whether through litigation, policy or other advocacy, the attorneys and staff at TCRP work to create a state where everyone can live with dignity, justice, and without fear. Our Voting Rights Program tackles the systemic issues that suppress democratic participation in Texas — from voter registration to the moment when an individual casts their ballot. Through litigation and advocacy, TCRP fights to turn the tide on the state’s abysmal voting rights record by removing barriers to voter registration, supporting grassroots voter mobilization efforts, and opposing new attempts to suppress voting.
As a critical element of that work, we are working to address Texas’s shameful history of racial and political gerrymandering. As Texas prepares to embark on a new round of redistricting in 2021, we are working with a statewide coalition to ensure fairness and transparency in the redistricting process. Our efforts will include community education, in English, Spanish, and other languages to inform the public about the redistricting process, building a base of energized communities ready to take action on Redistricting, and providing tools and resources so that more Texans can get involved in the process.
