Paid Labor Organizing Fellowships

Based in St. Paul, MN

 

New Brookwood Labor College strives to address racial, economic, and social imbalances of power by educating workers and providing opportunities to gain practical organizing experiences. We are based in St. Paul, Minnesota.

We are looking for 10 Labor Organizing Fellows for a yearlong paid fellowship. Fellows will learn about the labor movement, get training to organize in the service sector, and work on labor organizing campaigns across Minnesota. Fellows will receive a monthly stipend and a sign-on bonus.

• Fellows must live, or be willing to relocate to Minnesota. It is not possible to work remotely in this position.
• Priority will be given to those who can join the Cohort for training in person in St. Paul the week of May 29th, 2023.
