Organizing Positions 2025-2026
Are you passionate about strengthening our union and building power in your local?
We’re looking for committed members to step into key organizing roles - As Local Member Organizers, Statewide Coordinators to lead the program, Career Support, and Bread & Roses program . These positions are at the heart of our efforts to grow our union: recruiting new members, educating colleagues on the value of union membership, boosting engagement, and organizing around key issues like bargaining and contract enforcement. Bread & Roses celebrates the art, creativity, and spirit of our membership, and Career Support offers tools and resources to members impacted by budget cuts. Each position will receive a stipend for their work.
If you're ready to help build a stronger, more connected union from the ground up, and strengthen your interpersonal skills, we want to hear from you!
When is the right time to organize?
Right now! At its core, organizing is people coming together to collectively create the change they want to achieve, joining together to work toward common goals. This is what we do together as a union all the time.
Because we can and should work together to make change and grow our union all year, NEARI has a framework that gives key strategies to implement during the four seasons of a typical school year.
