Neighborhood Organizer

The Bryant Neighborhood Organization is seeking a 40 hour a week organizer to reach out to the neighborhood. This is a contract position, from now through the end of the year, with the possibility of extending it much longer. We need someone with some experience in on-the-ground organizing and event planning, as well as someone who can be highly independent, resourceful, inventive and motivated. Experience with web design, social media, and video production a plus.

BNO currently has no office and no paid stuff, and is board and resident run. The organizer will report directly to the board. The job is based within the small neighborhood of Bryant in South Mpls, so you will be spending much of your time connecting with people in Bryant itself. But during the part of the day when you will doing work on the phone/computer, you can work from anywhere. Which days you work can be negotiated, but it will require at least some evenings and weekend days.

You will be doing tasks from going down the street knocking on doors to helping designing programs. You will plan a few small events, survey the neighborhood, and reach out directly to the residents, activists, employees, artists and organizations of the neighborhood, including those in George Floyd Square itself, as Bryant anchors one corner of the Square.
