Introduction 

We’re seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented Communications Coordinator to support the execution of our communications strategy across digital platforms. This junior-level role is ideal for someone who thrives on managing timelines, collaborating across teams, and making sure that content gets where it needs to go—on time and on brand. 

The Communications Coordinator will be a key player in keeping our brand, marketing,  and communications projects running smoothly, with responsibilities ranging from website updates and email production to social media scheduling and basic project management. You don’t need to create all the content—but you’ll need to be comfortable working with writers, editors, designers, and multimedia producers to bring it to life across platforms.

  • Perform other communications-related tasks as assigned. 

Budget 

The budget range for this work will be between $30,000 and $32,000. All direct, related expenses, including but not limited to printing, postage, mail house, and email platform fees, will be paid separately and directly by Citizens & Scholars above and beyond this contractual fee. Payment terms and invoicing schedule will be negotiated with the selected contractor.

Institute for Citizens & Scholars 

Since our founding in 1945 originally as the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship  Foundation, the Institute for Citizens & Scholars has prepared new generations of  American citizenry by opening doors to higher education, supporting visionary thinkers, scholars, and teachers, and creating a thoughtful space for innovation. In 2020, we changed our name to the Institute for Citizens & Scholars and declared an expanded mission to cultivate a critical mass of young people who are civically well-informed, productively engaged for the common good, and committed to democracy.  

WHAT WE DO

The recent presidential election wasn’t just a political milestone—it was a stress test for  American democracy. With economic insecurity on the rise, artificial intelligence  transforming industries, and climate crises accelerating, the forces reshaping our society demand new approaches to leadership. Yet the divisions in our nation—compounded by  deep polarization—threaten our ability to meet these challenges.

What America needs most right now is a new generation of problem-solvers. Gen Z is ready to step up, but they need support to engage effectively in their schools, workplaces, and communities. 

Citizens & Scholars helps young people build the civic skills they need to work across divides on complex issues like climate change, global conflicts, reproductive rights, and economic inequality. 

We focus on three real-world civic skills needed to thrive in today’s polarized America:

  • Have Difficult Conversations across divides 

  • Access diverse sources of Reliable Information 

  • Use Collaborative Problem-Solving to tackle community issues 

How we do it: We build authentic partnerships with leaders in higher education and  workplaces to design programs and tools that can rapidly accelerate the civic  preparedness of millions of young people. We also invest directly in the next generation of  civic leaders, supporting their bold projects to drive change in their communities. 

We work in three areas: higher education, workplaces, and community: 

Higher Education 

Facing growing skepticism from large segments of the public, colleges and universities— viewed by many primarily as pathways temployment—must rise a greater purpose. This broader mission is rooted in the original promise of higher education: foster critical thinking, free inquiry, and the ability to engage constructively with those who see the world differently.  

  • College Presidents for Civic Preparedness is a coalition of over 125 campus leaders  from diverse ideologies, backgrounds, and institutions nationwide, all dedicated to preparing students for active civic engagement in a complex and divided country. 

  •  The Faculty Institute has helped dozens of interdisciplinary educators nationwide  gain the skills and confidence to redesign or create new courses that promote civil  discourse and become champions of this work on their campuses.  

  • The Mellon Fellowships broaden the range of perspectives and understandings  offered on college campuses and create opportunities for crucial new scholarly voices to be heard in disciplines and institutions. 

Community 

We’re equipping young leaders with funding, mentorship, and resources to tackle urgent challenges in their communities. 

  • Carnegie Young Leaders for Civic Preparedness recruits 100 corps leaders annually,  who will lead teams of peers in addressing community challenges they have  identified. We equip these leaders with real-world civic skills and dispositions through an immersive yearlong experience as they implement their community  projects.  

  • The Youth Civic Solutions Competition invites young adults to present innovative  ideas to boost civic knowledge, engagement, and trust in their communities, with winners receiving $1,000 for their projects and opportunities to connect with civic leaders. 

  • The Our Voices Summit empowers emerging youth leaders to present bold, youth driven solutions for local challenges to seasoned civic leaders. The summit amplifies youth voices, positioning them as equal partners and problem-solvers in the civic field. 

Workplaces 

Division doesn’t end at the office. In collaboration with the nation’s largest business  association, we’re piloting a groundbreaking program to train emerging professionals in civic skills that benefit both organizations and democracy.

We provide our state allies with the latest strategy, research, and expertise from our national allies. We organize peer learning opportunities that help them replicate success and avoid pitfalls. We challenge them to see the root causes of outcome disparities in their states, and we support their work to eliminate the predictive power of race, gender, parental income, or other identities that children do not control. We provide $10 million in annual grants to help them build capacity and stability. And–above all–we listen to where they are, where they’re trying to go, and how we can fuel that mission.

Funded by many of the leading investors in early childhood philanthropy, the Alliance’s unique support of state early childhood advocacy makes us a national leader in accelerating the effectiveness of policy advocacy for young children across the country.

To be successful in the role, you will need:

  • Strong writing skills, demonstrated by experience in writing content streams that advance a cause.

  • Demonstrated facility with content management environments (such as web editors, email systems) and an enthusiasm for learning new ones.

  • Demonstrated ability to create simple graphics to support web and social content.

Color of Change

A Compelling Opportunity 

Color Of Change is the nation’s largest online racial  justice organization. It is a powerful force for racial  justice, driven by millions of members nationwide,  and it is needed now more than ever. At this  defining moment in America, Color Of Change  seeks a visionary leader and President to steer the  nation’s most influential digital organizing force for  Black communities through transformative change,  while deepening and accelerating its mission to  advance racial justice and demand accountability  from corporations and government.  

Color Of Change stands as a respected and  often feared voice across Corporate America,  Hollywood, and Washington, backed by millions  of members who are mobilized for action to  respond effectively to injustice and challenge the  narrative and rules that limit their freedoms. With  unparalleled digital innovation capabilities, having  pioneered peer-to-peer texting, email campaigns,  and online organizing designed explicitly for Black  communities, Color Of Change has a strong track  record of winning real victories on democracy and  economic justice issues. It leverages corporate  pressure and narrative strategy, mobilizing its  member base nationwide.  

The next President of Color Of Change has the  opportunity to lead one of the most influential racial  justice organizations in America through a pivotal  moment. This leader will help citizens make sense  of their outrage by providing a place for them to  be heard, counted, and visible, creating pathways  for genuine action beyond statements and social  media posts. Success requires a leader who can  honor the organization’s innovative legacy while  strengthening the infrastructure needed for long term sustainability and impact. The ideal candidate  will combine visionary thinking with operational  excellence, movement credibility with management  skills, and the courage to challenge powerful  interests with the wisdom to build lasting change. 

The Mandate 

The next President must serve as both a stabilizing  force and a visionary leader during a critical inflection point for the organization, and during  an unprecedented time in American history when  civil rights are being systematically dismantled.  With the organization in a time of transition, the  incoming leader will strengthen internal cohesion  through transparent communication and authentic  relationship building.  

This turbulent national moment also presents an  unprecedented opportunity for transformational  leadership within the broader movement  landscape.

The role demands a leader capable  of institutional transformation, someone who  can evolve the organization while maintaining its  commitment to real change for real people.

The Organization 

Color Of Change was founded in 2005 in response  to Hurricane Katrina. It was established to use  online resources to build Black political power,  organizing Black communities online to build  power offline. The organization leverages digital  and on-the-ground organizing to educate and  mobilize communities to take strategic action at  critical moments on issues that matter. Color Of  Change is unique in its ability to combine racial  justice analysis with a clear-eyed view of corporate  and political power. It is an impactful conduit  between Black communities and halls of power. 

Areas of focus include:

  • Justice System

  • Economic Justice

  • Big Tech

  • Media and Culture

  • Voter Freedom

While Color Of Change sponsors campaigns, it also empowers individuals to create petitions and offers training resources to help them mobilize grassroots support around locally important issues.

Color Of Change has an impressive list of victories:

  • Exposing and reining in discrimination on the Airbnb platform.

  • Taking on Facebook and winning policy changes across other major social media platforms.

  • Pressuring Target to make its COVID-19 pay increases permanent.

  • Exposing rampant racial discrimination in the federal Paycheck Protection Program.

  • Helping defeat anti-protest bills in Wisconsin.
