Activism Coordinator

Most people complain about politics. A select few organize to change it.

Young Americans for Liberty is looking for several Activism Coordinators to recruit, mobilize, and develop activists who are willing to take action in defense of liberty.

If you've built a chapter, organized an event, recruited volunteers, or led a grassroots effort on campus, this is an opportunity to take those skills into a paid role and help build the liberty movement beyond your own campus.

This role is ideal for current students, recent graduates, and emerging grassroots leaders who want to continue organizing, developing activists, and advancing liberty through real-world action.

About the role

The Activism Coordinator serves as the primary organizer and mobilizer for an assigned territory. You will work directly with Minutemen, dues-paying members, campus chapters, and community chapters to recruit & train activists, organize events, support educational & advocacy campaigns, and educate and develop the next generation of liberty leaders.

Success in this role depends on your ability to build relationships, motivate volunteers, and turn supporters into well-trained activists who consistently take action. You will help create grassroots pressure around YAL's priorities by organizing people, growing engagement, and supporting educational and advocacy efforts throughout your assigned territory.

This is a relationship-driven role that requires strong communication, organization, and follow-through. You will regularly communicate with activists, support chapter leaders, and create opportunities for members to become more effective activists and engage in meaningful action.
