Mathematics is a beautiful subject, full of compelling intellectual challenges and deep connections to virtually every aspect of life. If this sounds like something you would say, then we're looking for you! Being a math tutor is a wonderful opportunity to support students in developing their critical thinking, socio-emotional, and math understanding -- skills that they will use throughout their lives. Each student sees math from a unique perspective, which is often very different from our own. This is why teaching math requires more creativity (and more understanding) than we might imagine. We're hoping for a tutor that is super excited about math and ready to share that passion with their students. Again, if that's you, we can't wait to support you!
At Cignition, we’re committed to building something extraordinary, and we won’t settle for anything less than the most talented, innovative, passionate, and committed tutors we can find.

Cignition works with you to provide online tutoring sessions that match your schedule and tutoring interests.

These programs last from one semester to an entire school year and can take place between 8 am and 8pm EST on weekdays. Weekend sessions may be available during the school year depending on a school district's need. These programs have an expectation that tutors work with the same small groups each week as relationships are crucial to student learning.
Our Model:
Cignition works with several school districts across the country from K-12
Tutors work with groups of 3-4 students.
We place a strong emphasis on inquiry and collaborative learning
We value rigor and exceptionally high expectations in addition to differentiated support to meet the needs of all students

OVERVIEW
VoteRiders is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) nonprofit, focused on voter ID education and assistance. Our work raises awareness of voter ID laws and VoteRiders’ services. Our programs identify, educate and help voters in need of voter ID assistance so they can vote with confidence, knowing they cannot be turned away .
Targeted voter ID education and assistance in Texas has never been more crucial, as a new voting law enacted in December 2021 has created further confusion about the state’s requirements for ID when voting in-person and by mail. Because of this new law, as well as widespread confusion and intimidation surrounding voter ID issues more broadly, thousands of Texans were unable to, or deterred from, casting a ballot during the state’s March 1, 2022, primary election. Ahead of the midterm elections in November and beyond, VoteRiders is seeking to expand its presence in Texas to mitigate the impact of the new (and ongoing, stringent) voter ID provisions in the state’s voting laws and help Texans cast a ballot that counts and in large numbers.
The Latino community in Texas is particularly impacted by voter ID laws, and in need of targeted support to ensure that all eligible voters are able to cast a ballot that counts in a context of widespread confusion regarding the state’s new voting law. For this reason, VoteRiders is seeking a Spanish-speaking Bilingual Organizer to be based in Houston, Texas to support and scale our work in the greater Houston region, with a particular focus on implementing and expanding our Voter ID Clinics program. Voter ID Clinics involve placing trained VoteRiders staff or volunteers on-site (or virtually) at partnering community organizations such as shelters, community centers, food banks, and more. Ideally held on a regular basis, VoteRiders’ Voter ID Clinics offer one-on-one and fully-paid voter ID assistance to any voter who needs it — including all transportation arrangements and costs and helping to obtain and paying the fees for the ID and underlying documents.
This is a full-time position, available ASAP. The VoteRiders Houston Organizer will work in close coordination with our Texas Voter ID Coalition Coordinator (based in San Antonio), a second Houston Organizer, and will directly report to our National Voter ID Assistance Director.
COMPENSATION
The salary for this position is $50,000/year. Healthcare benefits, paid sick leave, and paid time off policies are outlined in VoteRiders’ Employee Handbook.
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
60% Partner & Volunteer Outreach and Relationship Management

This will include direct service provider organizations and community groups that are willing and able to host regular Voter ID Clinics or refer people in need of voter ID assistance and information to VoteRiders
Train partner organization staff and volunteers in both English and Spanish on Texas’s voter ID law and on the implementation of Voter ID Clinics, ensuring productive and ongoing partnerships that enable VoteRiders’ partners to deliver ID education and assistance to the communities they serve
Recruit, train, and oversee a diverse group of VoteRiders volunteers who can support Voter ID Clinics in-person and virtually, including bilingual support, as well as provide virtual ID assistance outside of regular Voter ID Clinic events
Promote VoteRiders’ tools and services widely with partner organizations in Texas, including our bilingual Voter ID Chatbot, Voter ID Helpline, and Texas Voter ID Information wallet cards

Track and reconcile expenses associated with the organization of Voter ID Clinics and voter ID assistance
Document stories, visually and otherwise, of voters assisted, including the steps taken to obtain an acceptable ID and capturing impact stories for posting on social and digital media as well as through traditional media coverage of Voter ID Clinics
QUALIFICATIONS

Work with CSG staff to craft compelling testimony, email alerts, and blog posts
Communicate and build relationships with relevant local and regional press members to ensure coverage and incorporation of sustainable transportation and smart growth issues in news media

The Coalition for Smarter Growth is the leading organization in the Washington, D.C. region dedicated to making the case for smart growth.

Do you have a passion for advocacy, transit, and making a difference in your community? Do you love connecting with people and building relationships that can make change happen?

We’re looking for an individual with skills in relationship-building, clear and effective writing, and advocacy and organizing. We seek dedication to advancing smart growth, an ability to manage multiple projects, creative thinking and open-mindedness, and who can be an integral part of our winning team.
Job Responsibilities
Serve as an ambassador for the Coalition for Smarter Growth with local officials, community and business leaders, residents, and activists
Build alliances with labor, environmental, social justice, and forward-looking industry groups to win transit and transit access investments
Support and help build CSG partnerships in the Maryland statewide effort to direct federal and state transportation funds to equitable and green transit investments that reduce CO2 emissions and toxic pollutants, while improving access to jobs and other opportunities
Strengthen RISE Prince George’s and nurture activists to take on leadership roles for this CSG-supported, county-based group, which advocates for better bus service, safer access to transit by walking and bicycling, and more walkable, equitable transit-oriented communities (see our 2022 Platform )
Cultivate new transit and smart growth supporters in Prince George’s County through grassroots outreach and coalition building
Organize educational and campaign events such as walking tours, educational forums, press conferences, decision-maker briefings, advocates meetings, and volunteer gatherings (virtual and in-person, depending on pandemic safety assessment)
Research, develop, and execute strategies for new and ongoing transit, sustainable transportation, and smart growth campaigns
Track relevant transit, smart growth and transportation issues at the county and state level
Work with CSG staff to craft compelling testimony, email alerts, and blog posts
Communicate and build relationships with relevant local and regional press members to ensure coverage and incorporation of sustainable transportation and smart growth issues in news media
Pitching in as needed: because we're a small office, we all help with big events, administrative tasks, fundraising, and the random stuff that just comes up

Demonstrated and enthusiastic dedication to smart growth principles central to CSG’s mission, including increasing transit access and creating walkable, inclusive communities

Act is currently seeking a personable, tenacious, and self-motivated individual to serve as a Community Advocate who can join our team to help drive Act’s legal casework forward, engaging and resolving casework by initiating and sustaining community relationships, while working alongside a variety of stakeholders.
This position serves Dallas-Fort Worth communities by researching open record and internal data sets to find the most effective and efficient ways to meet potential clients and then introducing them to Act’s ministry and legal model. This will entail building strong working relationships with local police, city officials, neighborhood leaders and other non-profits. This position serves staff and volunteer attorneys by work-flowing casework, consistent engagement with clients, keeping casework updated, translating attorney/client communications, and seeing cases through to their resolution.
The ideal candidate will be able to provide English to Spanish and Spanish to English translations in both written and verbal communications, which will require fluency in Spanish and English. Translation will mostly consist of attorney/client communications, including legal documents and clients’ evidence.
This position also serves the rest of Act staff by working cross-departmentally to aid in the telling of casework narratives and making connections with community members.
The ideal candidate will possess a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, a passion for social justice and racial equity, a teachable spirit, and a desire to collaborate with a diverse team. They will demonstrate tenacity, curiosity and strong interpersonal and problem-solving skills. They will also demonstrate a mature ability to take calculated risks and initiatives to meet goals set by their team and clients.
Work Requirements: Must reside in DFW and have the capability to work both in-person and virtually. Although we have a hybrid, asynchronous office, this position, in particular, is highly relational and requires significant in-person presence in the communities we serve. Must have personal means of transportation.
Education and Experience : Fluency in Spanish and translation skills are required, as is cross-cultural experience. Excellent communication, translation and community building skills are essential. Investigative and data research skills are useful. Candidate must possess a “no job is too small” mentality. Experience in sales, client relations management or missionary work is preferrable. User knowledge of CRM platforms, like Salesforce, and project management platforms, like Slack and Trello, would be beneficial.
Compensation & Benefits: We do our best to make sure our team members are set up for success, so they can do their best work. Employees receive a competitive salary that is commensurate with their experience and level of education. Act offers comprehensive health benefits, company-paid life insurance and short & long-term disability coverage, a 401K with an employer match, and unlimited vacation (with a 10-day minimum) in addition to paid holidays, which includes two weeks off at Christmas. We seek to cultivate a culture of freedom and responsibility that yields high results. We value our employees and want to ensure the sustainability and longevity of their time with Act.
How to Apply : Please complete the online application found on our website at www.actforjustice.org/join-our-team . The application requires a Statement of Faith. A Statement of Faith should describe your Christian faith and how it is relevant to your involvement with Act and should include, at a minimum, a description of your spiritual disciplines (prayer, study, etc.) and your current place of worship. If you have questions, please email our team at: recruitment@actforjustice.org .
