Boys Hope Girls Hope of Illiois helps good kids in bad situations beat the odds.

By providing family-like homes in safe neighborhoods, a first-class education in top-rated schools, and comprehensive college preparation, we empower children of poverty and potential to triumph over their circumstances, become successful, and grow up to give back to their communities.

As a live-in Residential Counselor, you'll provide the most fundamental need of all. You'll help build the loving and supportive family dynamic and home environment that all children need to feel secure. We are hiring now for our summer start dates.

You and other committed staff members will:

Create an environment of achievement by guiding our scholars in college preparation and educational excellence;
Provide for our scholars' physical, emotional, and spiritual needs;
teach social and independent living skills;
help provide new opportunities and activities;

model a healthy and responsible lifestyle by providing discipline, organization, and compassion.

Qualified applicants will be at least 21 years of age; hold a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college in social work, psychology, counseling, education, or a related field; and will have experience in serving a similar population equal to at least one-year full-time work. A High School diploma is also acceptable with the equivalent of two years full-time work with a similar population. Your experience raising and loving a family is also valuable to us. A valid driver's license is also required.

Live-in staff members receive private, furnished living quarters, and meals at no cost; a competitive compensation and benefits package including group medical and dental coverage, 401(k) retirement savings plan, tuition reimbursement, life insurance, long-term disability coverage, 125 Flex Benefit plan; and the chance to change the lives of children who need it.

Application Deadline Approaching - Mobilize the Public for Clean Air!

Civic Feeds — Fri, 25 May 2012 20:21:09 +0000

Learn to Run a Field Campaign!

Grassroots Voter Outreach is hiring and training Campaign Office Directors to run
petitioning drives this spring and summer. You will build and manage a staff of 20-40 petitioners,
orchestrate the logistics of a campaign office, and mobilize hundreds of thousands of people
around important issues. You will be a part of one of the largest environmental campaigns this
year.

If you're ready to take on the challenge, you will have the opportunity to make the
biggest impact on our environment as quickly and directly as possible.

Right now Grassroots Voter Outreach is working with a coalition of environmental
organizations, including Environment America, the League of Conservation Voters, and the
Sierra Club. The campaign is to raise awareness and build support for Clean Air standards to
be set by the EPA. This is a rare chance to take control away from dirty special interests and
protect public health, and there are only a few months left to act!

Job Responsibilities:

Recruitment: Quickly build a team of 15-40 petitioners by recruiting from within the local community. Interview prospective staff and make hiring decisions.

Staff Management: Teach petitioning skills. Work with your staff in individual and group settings, with a particular eye towards developing leaders.

Petitioning: Gather petitions in the field at least three days per week to generate public comments and to train new and experienced staff in the field.

Administration: Carefully track the progress of the campaign within your office. Manage the budget and payroll for your office. Maintain records for future organizing efforts.

Qualifications:

Strong communication and motivational skills, work ethic, and desire to protect the environment are essential. Candidates must be able to work within a team, have proven leadership ability and experience handling a lot of responsibility. Strong self-direction and the ability to take initiative are also necessary qualifications. Previous field or canvassing experience is a plus, and may qualify candidates for additional leadership positions.

Training:

Newly hired campaign directors will typically spend three weeks doing field training, working intensely alongside experienced directors. Directors will also attend weekend-long classroom training. Additionally, directors receive support from regional management staff throughout their time on staff.

Expectations:

Minimum commitment through the end of the election which includes the Clean Air Defense Campaign through the middle of the summer and at least one other campaign through the election. Long-term opportunities available. Campaign hours can run 80-100 hours per week, including work on weekends.

Salary/Benefits:
Annual salary for campaign directors begins at $24,000. Staff may opt into our health care plan (PPO). Paid training, vacation and sick days are included; student loan assistance is available.

Positions are available starting in March in the following locations:
