Vote Defenders Fellow

In 2013 NC passed the worst voter suppression law in the country that makes it more difficult for youth, people of color, and poor people to vote. By monitoring polls and educating the public about the changes Ignite NC’s Vote Defender project is raising awareness about the new laws, watchdogging election officials and other voters for patterns of misconduct, and building the movement for grassroots people’s power in NC.

Community Organizing Fellow:

The purpose of these fellowships is to build the youth and student movement in North Carolina. In order to do this, we must make deep investments in young leaders – through training, ongoing coaching, and access to resources for on the ground organizing.

Ignite NC is seeking organizing fellows to build the movement for grassroots people’s power in NC. From racial profiling to joblessness, young people must organize to change their own conditions and collectively build a better future. These fellowships are designed for youth who are currently working on an issue based campaign.
