Are you angry about the injustices your community faces?

Do you want to learn how to build the people power necessary to fight those injustices and make real, local change?

As a community organizer with HOPE (Hillsborough Organization for Progress and Equality), you’ll learn how to bring together our area's diverse faith community to address the root causes of serious community problems.

HOPE is a constituent-led, grassroots organization that brings together faith communities to address the root causes of serious community problems across Hillsborough County, Florida.

HOPE is part of the Direct Action and Research Training Center (DART), one of the largest faith-based community organizing networks in the country.

We believe that fighting for racial and economic justice is fundamental to our identity as people of faith, and we know that successfully fighting for justice requires having power in the public arena.

We’ve been organizing interfaith coalitions to build power since 1982.

A few of our victories include :

  • Hundreds of millions of dollars invested in affordable housing Implementation of fair discipline policies in hundreds of schools, breaking the school-to-prison pipeline $950 million invested in public transportation  Criminal justice reforms resulting in 50,000 fewer arrests of children Primary Responsibilities : The Lead Community Organizer will direct the organization, including hiring and supervising all staff at HOPE.

  • Fundraising from local sources Coordinate an annual 6-8 week fundraising drive with grassroots leaders who fundraise from individuals, small businesses, and major corporations in the community.
  • Ensure that dues from member congregations are collected.
  • Organizational development & management Work with the organization’s Board of Directors to map out the strategic direction and development of the organization.
  • Train, supervise, and evaluate staff of 2-3 Associate Organizers.
  • Ensure that the organization’s finances are in order.
  • This includes maintaining accurate financial records, ensuring that all foundation proposals and reports are submitted in a timely fashion.
