I’m writing because Barack needs you out there this summer.
Through the Organizing Fellowship program, you can work in a full-time volunteer position, learn the principles of field organizing, and then carry out important grassroots activities on the ground.
This summer, thousands of these organizing fellows are going to help lead our grassroots organization — recruiting volunteers and running events to help more people make their voices heard.
It’s an amazing experience — one that could change your life while shaping this country for decades to come.
