Job Description
Neighborhood Captain - Atlanta
About the role:

As a Neighborhood Captain, you will focus on becoming a trusted neighbor and civic resource provider. You will organize high-potential voters using door-to-door canvassing, phone calls, personalized texts, and neighborhood gatherings to build trust, identify community needs, and bridge the gap between barriers to vote and civic power in your area ahead of the 2026 General Election.

This is a temporary hire for the 2026 election cycle that will run until November 15, 2026.

Responsibilities:

- Voter Outreach and Relationship Building: Bring energy and personality to develop relationships with, and manage a target list of approximately 750 - 1,000 high-potential voters within your community. You will conduct high-quality outreach through door-to-door visits, phone calls, and peer-to-peer texting, aiming for at least 3+ meaningful interactions with as many voters as possible. This includes prioritizing outreach to folks that you may already know or have relationships with.
- Neighborhood Event Planning: Organize and execute local gatherings or community events to provide low-pressure opportunities for neighbors to connect and engage.
- Detailed Data Entry: Utilize outreach tracking platforms like ECanvasser to document interaction and engagement details, and make note of community concerns (e.g., specific neighborhood issues, personal interests) to ensure every follow-up feels like a continuation of a single, long-term conversation. Make note of voter feedback and insights on key issues and resources needed by each voter.
- Reporting & Quality Control: Collaborate with your Manager for quality control reviews, feedback sessions, and verification of engagement standards.
- Maintain a flexible, reliable schedule, including evenings and weekends during peak season – Up to 29 hours a week.

Requirements:

- Community Trust & Charisma: You should be a "grasstops" or “grassroots” leader—someone with roots in your neighborhood, and the ability to engage easily with strangers. If you’re involved in your community activities, sports, and neighborhood events, this is for you!
- Emotional Intelligence: High empathy and "active listening" skills, with the ability to listen 80% of the time and speak 20%.
Experience: Prior experience in community organizing, door-knocking, or paid or volunteer political work is preferred but not required. We’re also looking for folks that may have more informal or unconventional community outreach and organizing experience.
- Tech Savvy: Comfortable using mobile apps and relational databases for tracking engagement and data entry.
- Reliability: A commitment to the full duration of the program and a track record of following through on community support.
Qualifications & Requirements
Compensation and Benefits

- Temporary, hourly part time position, $25/hour, with accrued sick time.
- In addition to hourly pay, Captains receive $60 / month stipends included in their regular paychecks.
- This position includes occasional weekend work and possible on-call requirements.
- This is a temporary cycle role and runs through November 15, 2026.
- This position is not eligible for the collective bargaining unit.

The application process includes a very short one-way video, an interview with a member of Community Rising Leadership, background checks and reference checks. Due to the nature of our work, the process is moving quickly, and we hope to bring people onboard ASAP. Applicants must be legally eligible to work in the United States. We are not able to provide sponsorship at this time.

After applying, please make sure to check for email correspondence for updates to your application progress. Additionally, please keep an eye on your Spam folder as sometimes communications from our hiring platform get filtered there!
