We are looking for natural organizers who are committed to change but haven’t started their organizing career yet to join the first cohort of the Katy Jewett Organizer Apprenticeship.

​

This is not a brief training course - the Katy Jewett Organizer Apprenticeship is a 16 month-long fully paid career pathway designed to give you a strong grounding in our local. state, and national political system, an understanding of how things work and how we can change them, and the skills and relationships you’ll need to enact real, meaningful change.

​

Apprentices will start on staff at the Harris County Democratic Party. They will continue to receive intensive classroom and field training throughout the fall, working with Democratic allies and campaigns to develop the skills they need to build a career in political organizing.

​

At the end of the initial phase of the program, apprentices will be placed in full-time positions at allied organizations. Throughout the following year, you will continue to receive training and mentoring to help grow your skillset and network and build a career in changemaking and hellraising.

​

In order to be considered for the program, you must attend a campaign bootcamp on December 14th and 15th in Houston at the Texas Gulf Coast Area Labor Federation House of Labor (2506 Sutherland St.)

Saturday, December 14th - 9am - 2pm
Sunday, December 15th - 12pm - 4pm

A hiring committee made up of representatives from the Katy Jewett Memorial Training Fund and hiring organizations participating in the apprenticeship will meet to evaluate candidates and invite qualified applications to interview.
