This Fellowship is for you if...you’re super driven and ambitious about building people-power movements for justice; you have experience with online and offline campaigning in Asia - not just as a staffer, but as an activist. You're ready to invest time into learning and are looking for guidance.
About SMT. Social Movement Technologies’ mission is to provide organizing strategy, training and campaign support to build people-power for justice and win in the digital age. We're a non-profit/NGO movement support group, driven 100% to meet movement needs. We're super lean - we do lots with little, just like most of the groups we work with.
SMT’s small but highly effective team has trained staff from over 4900 groups and unions over its first 10 years and worked with 200+ groups on campaigns more in-depth.
SMT provides the in-depth digital campaign training that staff and activists need in the digital age. Our goal is to expand access by driving down the cost of this training and provide excellent online learning experiences to deepen digital organizing proficiency dramatically. We focus on using digital campaigning to amplify in-person action, broaden support, activate supporters, and pressure targets. Our bias is towards meeting the needs of small to medium-size groups.
How to apply: It's obvious when applications are completed with ChatGPT. This will reflect poorly on you and may disqualify you as we want your answers, not ChatGPT's answers. Let us know where you heard about this. Tell us about your relevant experience. Share your resume, samples of your online campaign work, and a list of the tools and platforms you have proficiency in. This app only allows one document upload, so please include your list of tools at the end of your cover letter. If you have other work you'd like to share, include a link to a folder of your campaign work or other documents at the bottom of your cover letter. A later step in the process will include a timed live exercise. References will be required.
We regret that we cannot have pre-application conversations. We greatly appreciate that time and care are invested in each of them. The position will be open until filled.
