Neighborhood Captain - Detroit, Atlanta, Cleveland, Akron, Columbus

Movement Labs is seeking charismatic, trusted local leaders, organizers, and passionate college students to serve as Neighborhood Captains for Community Rising, a research-backed organizing program that mobilizes disengaged voters through relationship-based outreach. Building on a successful 2025 pilot, the role focuses on long-term relationship building with neighbors who didn't vote in 2024, blending traditional organizing with digital tools to build lasting community power and generate evidence for what works.

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.

Who We're Looking For:

We're looking to bring on a team of people who are outgoing and genuinely energized by talking to and mobilizing others, who can walk into a community event and turn it into a room full of people leaning in. You’re at ease talking to people in person, with phone calls, SMS, quick on your feet when a contact doesn’t go as planned, and able to adapt your style to different audiences.
